Inside Out Woodturning Classic – Three Stave Flame

Triple Inside Out Flame

This video is best viewed here on this page. But, in case of difficulty, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.

Sorry to leave you hanging last week. 🙂 But, I could not pack it all into one video. Last week, we cut staves for a triple inside out project. That has now turned out – into a flame – one of my favorites.

With the base, the flame is about 2.5 inches by 8 inches. The base is walnut; the outer flame is maple; the inner flame is padauk. All are finished with shellac.

A triple inside out is similar to a quad or four stave. The difference in preparation is cutting the staves. A four stave is easily cut since all angles are 90 degrees. A triple requires a parallelogram with angles of 60, 120,60,120. So, last week, we cut the staves. This week we turned the flame.

This link goes to a detailed step description to successfully cutting the staves plus a diagram to explain the minimal calculations (2 of them) to get things right.

Enjoy.
