    Default A turned and carved seed pod

    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
    Willy

    Hey Willy,

    Have you retired, you look like you have a bit too much time to spare ;-)

    Nicely done

    RETIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I wish.

    I don't watch much TV, and even less now that the Rugby League World Cup has just ended and the cup has been returned to the rightful owners.

    Dimensions, aproximately 90mm x60mm
