    Default A Few Turnings

    Here are a few "carved" turnings.

    The black wattle bowl is approx 400mm in diameter. carving and sanding seemed to take forever. Finished with Danish Oil.

    The little Gmelina took longer to carve and sand than the Black wattle bowl - smaller too only 250mm (approx) in diameter. Finished with a precat. lacquer.

    The Spaulted jacaranda is approx 380mm in diamater. Finished with Danish Oil - was very "oil hungry".

    The last one isn't carved - (spaulted jacaranda) just turned, finished with Danish Oil too. Approx 380mm in diameter.

    Mmmmmm... nice!

    Especially the first one, in Black Wattle.

    Very nice Peter - as always Interesting to see something fancy like the spalted Jacaranda being carved as well - usually allowed to shout for itself like your last piece.

    Yikes! The more one visits here the more one realises how much one has to learn, doesn't one? My my my!

    Seriously, a few WIP pics of the carving process of these works would be invaluable, Little Festo. Truly inspirational stuff!

    I agree, I also have heaps to learn and it would be great to see some step by step pics of this type of work.

    Little Festo - fabulous turnings, just love flutes, slots, swirls and grooves. Please tell us about the sanding, how much time did you spend on the first three?
