Spiralling tear woodturning sculpture

 




















Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

PROXXON Longneck Angle Grinder

Foredom Woodcarving Kit

Flexcut starter carving set


In this video I experimented with this spiralling form on the lathe. The wood I used is platani and had some kind of spalted texture.


I begun by turning the basic shape of my form. This was basically bowl gouge work. 


I then used my dividing system to divide my pieces in segments. This way I could easily draw the spirals. 


I then started remove material with my carving grinder and my rotary tool. 


I then carved my shape with more detail and sanded it. 


I also carved four legs on the bottom.


I finished the piece with mineral oil. 


And that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
