Curved
Inward Opening
| When you have an open form with a curved inward opening, try this approach, Use a "French curve" style tool rest to get around the lip. Reverse the banjo and position yourself on the 'backside of the ways' so you have better control and vision. This rest is a modified version of one I had John Lee make for me to get around the corners of large bowls. I also try to use a steady rest with painters' tape to protect the surface from bruising as it shows in the photo. | ||
