Rich Mialki shows his latest turned bowl |
The demonstration was on hollowed tree ornaments done by Rich Mialki |
|

|
|
|
Rich showed the technique of router cut inlays ala Jack Brown |
The ornament is roughly shaped, leaving sufficient strength, before hollowing is done |
Rich does the initial hollowing with a Forstner bit |
He finishes the hollowing with a curved hollowing tool |

The finial stock is mounted between centers for rough turning |
The heavy cuts are taken while it is securely fastened |
The tail center is removed to allow the finial to float for final cuts |
The hollowed body and finial are assembled for the final ornament |
