Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen
I have been flat out turning pens, so thought a break was in order.
Turned and carved a Jarrah seed pod.
First off, turned and hollowed the basic shape.
Sanded to 600 grit, then cut the wings to shape with a coping saw.
Sealed the outside with Sanding sealer.
Carved away the recess (x4) along the body of the pod with a Arbortech Mini carver, then did the stipling with the Dremel in the carved areas.
Lastly, ebonised the carved/stippled area and inside the pod. I kept the inside of the pod rough deliberately to mimic how I thought Nature would do it
Cheers
