View Full Version : A little Cocobolo and a lot of patience

I have seen this piece turned and carved by Richard Morris in cocobolo.
As you can see the turning is relatively simple as you have to keep a fair thickness to allow for the carving.
The drawing of a vast number of lines of different colours, like the method used by Stuart Mortimer is of an extreme precision, then the carving and polishing…. Hour and hours.
But the result is something fantastic.
Don’t you think so?

Amazing piece. Certainly a lot of work and time went into it, but worth it considering the result.

Yes, one of the best peaces I've seen for a while.

For those people that don't like sanding, don't try to make one of these...!
This peace will require lots of patience with manual sanding, but more importantly, the sanding techniques that most people don't have.

How many layers of skin can a human grow in its fingers in a life time?
I've lost count on mine...!

As a point of interest, what is one of the oldest method used, to relief the pain of raw fingers from sending? :fingerscrossed:

Cheers
