This very complex doubly beaded bowl on multiple axes is in the vein of the work of Hans Weissflog. I'd like to learn how to do that some day...
...and here is Jim showing it off...
...and a "three-way" bowl in the "flat" position,
...the same three-way bowl in the "up" position,
...a twisted hollow form,
...a novel "bent pencil",
...a traditional kaleidoscope,
...and a bamboo desk kaleidoscope. All of it lovely work. See the "October Demo" photo album to watch Jim turn one of his traditional kaleidoscopes.
