Ivory
Handle
Reproduction in Elforyn
New
Immitation Handles for Gold Bowl
I was asked to turn two new imitation ivory handles for an antique gold bowl. I used Elforyn Super Tusk for the material. These handles are only 1.115" in length, and I knew they were going to be difficult to turn on my 9" lathe. After drilling the holes in the turned-down rods, I used 4-40 threaded rod and secured the blanks with matching nuts. In order to keep the rod from spinning out of control, I drilled a hole in hardwood the same diameter as the rod and mounted it in my tail stock. |
One more thing: since my tool rest was too long to fit in such a small space, I cut a thick piece of aluminum that would make the perfect size table to rest my cutting tools. |
Pictured is the original ivory handle in front of the reproduction. The final image displays the ivory-style Schrager lines in the Super Tusk. |
