Skew, Vee chisel on the dremel to start with. Then files Bastard cut engineering files, they work well and I have a tungsten concrete grit file as well. The burl is quite soft so no real dramas in removal of timber. Its just a case of going around several times till its done. The oil is what makes the piece, as you can see with previous pics.

Hi Hughie,
I have been watching with interest several of these spiral carved turning's of yours and I like them very much this last one is quite an achievement to keep it together well done. I have been wanting to try some carving or embellishment to the outside of some turning for a while so I had a go on a piece of crows ash that I had,it had some deep crack's in it but I hoped they will turn out and if not this is a trial run to see if I could so no matter. I see you have 15 spirals on this one do you have a standard set out you use or do you change this to suit the piece, I went with 12 spirals to try to get the process simply because the indexing on my lathe is multiple's of 12 so I used this to try to space the set out. Thank you for the inspiration to have a go.
Regards Rod.

Rod I have my own indexing system that runs from 15 to 98 so it can varied for each one I do if I require.Generally it runs between 15 -36 above that it can get a bit cluttered, unless its large diameter

Hi Hughie,
I started roughing out outside shape then set out 12 spaces both ends and centre then ran line ahead 4 lines from top to bottom. Being my first attempt I carved the first few then sanded them to get the idea of the finish went on to finish carving the rest the lovely wife says she really likes the rest that are not sanded the rough texture of the carved spirals and I must admit that after she said this and I took the time to look and feel the shape I tend to agree with her. The finish you are using on this BLO Boiled linseed Oil is that right never tried it other than on out door furniture.
Regard's Rod.

Cheers Hughie,
I give it a go and see what it does with the Crows Ash.I usually just use spray satin lacquer as it is what I usually have at hand then final rub with wax and wool.
Regards Rod.

Hughie,
glad to see you did hold it together for another classic Hughie form.
Does the inset collar hold the form together or is it purely decorative?Dragonfly
No-one suspects the dragonfly!
