    Default Mandala Flower Of Life

    "CARVING FLOWER OF LIFE"
    Hello once again everyone I've made some progress on this project. I have started carving through on the sides of the bowl. This has to be done almost all with knives and gouges, after I drill a hole in the widest place of the triangle. You will see the tools I'm using for this process in the photos, I've also rounded inside and most of the outsides flower peddles.

    "THE FLOWER OF LIFE"

    I had some time this morning so I started the rim carving, I thought I would show where I was going with this project. Most of the carving was done with the knife in the photo. This Pommele Sapele carves much nicer than the Red Elm.

    "THE FLOWER OF LIFE"
    Hello everyone I have moved on with the carving on this project. I have carved a few flowers in various stages so you can get a better understanding of my process. You can see in the photos if you zoom in the first stage outlining cutting 1/16 "- 1/8" deep. This is very important to stop over cutting areas you do not wan cut. I have also shown the tools and files and sanding tools I use. I would have had even more carving done but I went back and have been refining the bowl section rounding, smoothing and sanding with220 grit.

    Mandala " FLOWER OF LIFE"
    This semi segmented piece is made from Red Elm, Pommele Sapele and Tigers Eye stones. The finish size is 13" D x 6" with some pyrography work, the final finish is lacquer. After turning on the lathe the pattern was hand drawn and the pieces was hand carved.
