This piece should first be roughed to a cylinder, and then the ends of the curves at the center should

be finished (Fig. 85). Next the piece should be tapered towards each end, as shown in Fig. 86, using the roughing gouge. This determines the diameter of the ovolo at each end.

Turn the ovolo and straight portion at each end (Fig. 87), using the chisel for this part of the work. Mark the points A, Fig.

87, with the acute point of the chisel, as in cutting for the cove (Fig.

39), and then turn this curve with a 1/2-inch gouge, finishing it as shown in

Fig. 88.

Rough down the long curves with the roughing gouge, and finish with the inch skew chisel to the shape shown in Fig. 84. This piece may be polished by the same method as given in Lesson 21.
