San Diego Woodturners Page 11 June 2013 June Program: The Oneway “Hisway” Coring System by Oskar Kirsten MULCH. That’s what good wood turns to if you just remove the center layer after cutting layer. Imagine a big nice piece of bowl wood with grain up the wazoo and color to match. The center of that goes away in chips to a flower bed. But, now there is a way to salvage that center wood without the frustration of the McNaughton Nightmare. I know that from experience since I have had two McNaughtons over the years. I made lots of niece bowls with unplanned drain holes. The flowers I planted in them liked them anyway. Mike Mahoney can wiz us with what he can do, but we mortals have been saved by the OneWay. So for the June demo I will try to show how I am now a much more calm person since I have developed the confidence to make several nested pieces out of a single piece of that “special” wood. The demo will include the important set up and the options it allows. There are ways to avoid that bottom hole every time. Really. Included will be the methods of properly grabbing the pieces for the methods of nest progression. As time permits, I will show how I changed the stock OneWay mounting plate to be able to do more that hemispherical sections and see the options. Set of nested 4 pieces from a Eucalyptus burl that I had for 10 years not wanting to McNaughton it. (Good thing, it became the introduction page to last year’s (2012) Utah Symposium DVD) This a Carob nest of 5 pieces and clearly shows what can be “saved” from the mulch pile. Full view showing the outer form with legs This a redwood burl set of 4 pieces using the same cutter to generate concentric hemispherical sections. The set is 16” in diameter and about 6” tall. The ONE admitted McNaughton nest that worked. It is a rare Carob burl and it is less in diameter than deep!! Very hard to do and will remain an orphan unless I repeat this with the OneWay.
