Thread: coolibah burr/resin ovoid form

WOW!!!!!!!! What a stunning piece of.....its got to be art. I envy people like yourself who see a "lump of wood" and can turn it into something special.
To expose the natural grain structure has made the job just stunning. Top marks

BEWDIFUL!!! Mate, your hollow forms always impress!!

Magnificent combination and the finish is superb. How did you get the finish to blend?

This is very nice work and very elegant. Something to be proud of. I like it and I admire your skills.

Hi Cornucopia,
like the others have said WOW,
really nice job is it hollowed out ? and if so which
tools do you use on a hollow form that small?
finish is great too ? what did you use to finish with
hope you do not mind all the questions
again well done,
cheers smiife

thank you for all of your kind comments

Kcam- the wood and resin are cast together as a solid block and then turned as normal.

smiife:yes its hollow- i used some home made ellsworth style tools. The finish is 3 stages of buffing wheel and compounds followed by a few coats of MC wax.

Well I'm struggling for words...

The finish on that is amazing, beyond amazing - fantastic.

Love your work

It's too nice for words

Not much else for left to say, it has all been said!
I normally hate a high gloss finish, but your finish is stunning. Love the heart wood

So, how did you get the Coolibah way over there, George? I'm imagining that the resin is no harder to turn than the timber?

Oh yes!!!!! very nice. Great finish

Thank you for all of your kind comments

Hardenfast: lol someone must have snook out with some when it was dark!! all i can say is it must have been a big bird as this stuff aint light
the resin isnt harder to turn but not the same as timber- I use allot of neg rake techniques.
