Woodturning a scoop in two axis

 





















Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Flexcut starter carving set

Caliper set

Wire Burning Kit


In this video I turn a scoop out of basswood. The technique I used Is similar to what pipe makers do to turn their blanks in two axis. 


I begun by marking all my centre points and my basic design on my blank. 


I then shaped the handle and a little bit of the scoop bowl. 


I then mounted the piece on the other axis and made a tenon for my chuck. 


Next I chucked the piece and hollowed the scoop. 


I used a cone on my chuck, reversed the piece again and cleaned the bottom. 


I shaped the rest of the scoop on my belt sander. Then I moved on to a carving knife. Finally I sanded it and finished it with mineral oil. 


It was a s mall project but really challenging. Anyway, that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
