Wood and resin cross - woodturning

 





















Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Vacuum chamber kit

Resin colors

Buffing kit

Micro mesh sanding pads

Foredom Woodcarving Kit



In this video I make a wooden cross out of epoxy resin and almond wood. It was a nice woodturning project. 


I first turned the piece roughly. Then I split it in half with an axe. 


Next I mixed some epoxy resin and poured it into the mold. I de-gassed in the vacuum chamber. 


After cleaning up the edges I epoxied the blank on a glue chuck. 


I then started turning the blank.


Then I started shaping the cross. I removed some material with a saw and then I finished shaping with sanding. 


I sanded, then wet sanded and then I polished with micro mesh and polishing mops. 


Finally I parted the piece off the lathe and cleaned the bottom


And my cross was ready. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
