Here is something that came to mind that i have never seen before.
Combining joinery with turning.
had trouble with the dove tail so stuck with the finger joint.
Used it in an 8 sided box off a special jig i made in my shop.
I really loved the look of it as you can tell.
Its hard to know where one piece ends and another begins.
Lots of fun to play with this design, however the shape is limited.
Only a straight fluted design will work for the body. Also at the end of the fingers you are turning end grain which may or may not need a little help with puddy in the finishing.
Also the glue up is difficult and required a slow setting formula. Tight bond makes a good one.
But the result is well worth the trouble.
