Check out the lathe too. Isn't that a tractor sitting up top of those timbers???

Probably the power source for the 'lathe'.

What a picture! Outstanding!

My gosh! is that a laid up bowl blank? it must have taken months to just do that! i couldnt get page to translate into english so could someone tell me the story around this turning?

I didn't know McNaughton made a set of "super humongous" coring blades! ;-)

Hi Don

Saw this picture last year I think on a Australian web site, I'll see if I can find it, what I recall of it is that they (wood turners group) made the bowl like a segmented bowl, used a farm tractor to drive the bowl with the rear wheel hub, there was also a picture of the turners group with the finished bowl.
