Jeffrey Greenwood - "It takes two..."
Each original blank was laminated using 2 lengths of pau amarello and 2 of purpleheart, then turned to 3.5" round. From these a pair of spirals with 33 steps each. The steps are 3/16" high and 2 and 1/8" diameter turned on 16 offcenters. The height of each spiral is 6 and 5/16". I would like to emphasize that the spirals are turned from the blanks, not glued.
I have been a professional machinist for 33 years. I am used to fine precision and detail. This is recognizable especially in my spiral pairs.
I had a 1st and a 3rd prize at the Ottawa woodturning competition in my first entry and the year after 3 first prizes. I was published in the December 2009 and January 2010 issues of The UK's Woodturning magazine. I have been turning spirals, winged vessels, and pierced pieces for several years. My spirals in sets of two make a very definitive visual impact.
