Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I carve a drawing I had in my mind on a piece of basswood. Before carving I turned the disc on the lathe. It's diameter is about 24cm.
I begun by preparing my blank for the lathe. I cut the basic circle on the band saw. 24mm is the maximum diameter my little lathe can handle.
I turned my piece true between centres and I created the tenon for my chuck.
I kept it on the chuck so I could easier clamp it on my vise.
I removed most of the material with my trim router. Basically it’s a three level carving.
I then used my traditional wood carving tools to carve my design.
I then cleaned the tenon on the back and finished the piece with mineral oil.
And that was it. I am really happy with the way it came out. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
