How can I create this shape?

lbourdo

Thanks for the reply Jean. Great file tutorial.

However when I try to recreate it I get an error saying that my two solids I am wanting to intersect are not solids and it won't work?

Ideas as to why?

Thanks,
Lorne

Never mind I figured it out. I'll keep playing with it. It is really hard to get this to look right, but I don't know other software. I'll post what I finally come up with. I am trying to layout a bowl to cut in layers on a laser cutter and then sand it all smooth.

Thanks,
Lorne

How this modern bowl stay in place ?
Have you a bottom view ?

(I suppose the Jean file is not V6

It is probably a perfectly balanced bowl. And it is about time you upgrade Frenchy

Hi Pilou, hi folks.

Yea I was wondering that too, so what I'm gonna do just leave the bottom a little flat when I cut it out in slices. Then glue all the wood rings/slices together and sand smooth for a nice finish. It's going to be a centerpiece/fruit bowl for a christmas gift.

Thx Jean!

The original by Ane Christensen 1700 € (Silver)

Seems I will use arc circles + curviloft or extrude edges

So I modeled the silver bowl and didn't really like it. I know after all that! But I did learn a lot so thanks!

Here are the two I came up with.

I will post pictures when I cut, glue, sand, and finish the final product!

Thanks,

You'll want to give those thickness with Joint Push-Pull ruby or Perhaps shell ruby.

thanks pbacot,

I tried joint/push pull but it left little wedges in between each surface. But I plan to layout each 1/4" cut for the laser cutter in Revit so it'll be fine for it's purpose then I'll be able to get each layer's shape.

Thanks for the tips!
