Ooooops!
Nearly, very nearly a major disaster. Well even after all my careful planning and gluing I almost came to grief. :shock: The base parted company with the block I glued on, luckily the speed was slow and it gently rolled out of the steady into my hands . So now it sits overnight to allow the new glue 480 Loctite CA to fully cure and hopefully it will hang onto the old glue. If I tried to remove the old glue it would be near impossible to get running true again, as it is it might a challenge anyway.
Still I have to get the collar turned up and this B. Blackwood is very tough stuff and it puts a fair bit of strain on the base.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Phew. That was close!
Here's hoping it runs fairly true when it dries.... Steve

turning just about done
The main body of turning is now done and I have laid out the spirals, tomorrow I will start the carving. So far its had more dramas than I expected, but that's the nature of the beast I guess.
I 'm happy with the shape it should show off the spirals very well and collar is going well with the over all design, still not decided on the foot as yet.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Wow Hughie, that's nice work so far.
Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"

Looking really good Hughie. Great to see you back home and in the shed. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Cheers,

taking shape
Here we go, this is something like it should be. I got a couple of hours in the shed this after noon, bit warm so I gave it away early

Hughie - Ilike what you have managed so far!!
BUT: that looks decidedly unhealthy to me!

oiled
Shaping finished and oiled with BLO and left to dry over night. I will probably only oil this one and then rub it by hands after a few days

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

That was worth waiting for.
Very nice hughie, it looks great.
I've never tried BLO. Might be time I did.... Steve

Although in the last set of photos I can't help but try to visualise how it'd look if the spirals went t'other way around, to match the cracking. (It's probably just the pic... and that one void. )
Any particular tool you're using to carve the spirals? Or is it just a case of "whatever convenient-to-hand tools do the job best?"
