In this woodturning video I turn a little platter, made from interlocked triangles made from Oak, Wenge and Padauk. It took some time to get my head around the glue up and the air turning was pretty difficult however I think it ended up ok. So I would state yes you can turn triangles on a woodturning lathe.

Now we have a triangular bowl for all the donuts from last week.
This is among your top 5 creations in my opinion. Beautiful.
Thanks
Yes indeed
CAN YOU TURN TRIANGLES ON A WOODTURNING LATHE…..?
The Andy man can ❣️
Chihuly has the glass, you got the wood 🥰
You’re the master Andy! Great piece!
Thank you!
The answer is a definite ‘YES’. A lot of thought in the design. Very accurate in the cuts and angles. A beautifully finished piece. I agree with Chuck below. One of your best pieces.
Thank you very much!
I am always SO fascinated by your videos, but this was ESPECIALLY fascinating. What amazing work. I’m always in awe.
On another note I live in deep shame that your shop is so much more clean and organized than my own garage. Kudos!
thank you!
I’ve never been this “early” before so I wanted tell you that you have a great sense of unity through color (colour 😉) and it’s most apparent on the pieces where you use resin. So many other wood artists don’t use colors that are complimentary to the wood, or add pigment to the resin until it’s opaque, which kills the 3-dimensionality of the piece. Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy all of your projects ❤
Thankyou very much
The oak and wenge on the straight grain makes the padauk’s figure stand out even more than its color. I love the tiny heart of purple heart!
I’m not familiar with these woods, though I know what an oak is. Which is which? Their grain is very interesting.
I really like the color combo. Very interesting and unique piece, Andy.
It’s the boundless ingenuity and imagination I love – the “I wonder what would happen if?” approach,, linked to impeccable craftsmanship. There are no such things as useless leftover bits of wood. The whole point of odds and ends, the not being able to throw leftover bits away in case, – magic.
I used to take students to Home Depot. They’d follow me around. I’d grab really random stuff from all different departments, put them pretty much in their faces an ask: “But what else could you use this for?” and I’d wait silently until they’d said at least 2-3 answers for each item. If it was a stupid easy one I’d keep it held up. They never had any idea what I’d throw at them next. I’d bet they were thinking I was looking for a specific answer for each thing. I wasn’t.
We’d be in there several hours and all they heard for me was: “But what else could you use this for?” I wanted to see them sweat and strain. If they just sorta threw an answer at me I’d wait. I was very patient…and stubborn. I wanted to see their minds really turning and twisting, but in a good way. 😄
That’s a really good exercise for lots of different people in lots of different types of professions.
I taught art & design. Most of my students were on the young side, but not always.
The more they thought ‘Oh, *I’ve* got this’ (like THEY were the golden exception, the more I’d wait for them to spit out ideas.
The more arrogant someone was, the longer I’d wait…with the item held up.
It really taught them to suspend ‘normal’, ‘usual’, & ‘knee-jerk’ thinking. Someone in a creative profession REALLY needs to stretch, to come up with different ideas & let go of there’s 1 right answer & the rest.
Andy thinks like someone took him around a big box store and played “But what else could you use this for?” with him when he was a young man. 🙂👍🏻✅
The true genius of this piece is as much in the concept as the execution. Brilliant sir.
Thanks
You are the envy of woodturners everywhere.
I doubt that.. but thankyou

I’m sorry, I guess this sentence got away from me. 😅
But, still, your art and technique are amazing.
All it needed was a Legend of Zelda sponsorship. Gorgeous work as always!
Yes, you can! And it’s spectacular!
Now, that’s thinking outside the box or should I say triangle! Well done! It’s beautiful!
