hi guys
last weekend our local club had guilio grace us with a visit with a 1 day demo and a 3 day hands on tutorial
we had 3 items to make with his guidance along the way
first up was a goblet with a barley twist
, i used a dremel for it made from burdiken plum ,
the next item was a square edged bowl i used some amazingly figured mango ,with some ebonising and burning on the rim
and the last project was a winged box , we all cheated and glued up some scrap stuff as didnt want to smash knuckles :D , unknown wood and cocobolo finials top and bottom
then on the last day it was to finish up the last project then work on
something different :!
he said instead of the plain bowls and stuff everyone makes he wanted us to make something using a piece of timber and make it different/ arty
so i went browsing the shelves and found a banksia branch with a fork and also a small dead branch so i decided to give a arty farty vase a go :rolleyes:
the greenish stuff is ebonising solution , with a macassor ebony finial
also im wanting to get some ideas on what to finish it with please
