Tools and materials I propose:
Pyrography Pen Wood Burning Kit
In this video I make a kuksa mug on the lathe. Usually this is made using hand carving knives. But I thought it would be a good challenge to make it on a lathe. It actually involved a few really interesting techniques. I made it out of basswood.
I begun by preparing my stock on the planer and table saw.
With this this technique I will actually have two blanks after the first stage of woodturning.
After preparing my two blanks I added a few guide lines. I also had to consider the pieces of wood that would had to be removed because of tool marks from the chuck and tailstock.
To glue the two pieces together I added a piece of paper in between. This would help me separate the pieces later on.
At this point I started turning the outer shape of my kuksa. Once I was ready I split the two blanks in half with a chisel.
The I took one blank and put it on a screw chuck to make a tenon on the other side.
I then chucked it on the jaws and hollowed it out with a bowl gouge.
To clean the bottom I used my bowl bottom cleaning jaws.
Next I did some fine tunings on the shape with a carving knife.
I carved a flower on it’s handle and used my wood burner to decorate it.
Finally I buffed the mug with carnauba wax.
And my kuksa was ready.
It was a really interesting project, but that was it.
See you soon with a new project video.
