This video will demonstrate from start to finish how to draw a basket weave and how to kolrose the design onto a wooden spoon. The process is displayed as simple as possible to show you how easy it can be to get started. A basket weave is a perfect design to learn if you are looking to get into kolrosing, it is a simple design that you can do many things with. Kolrosing is a wood decoration technique which is simple to do. You will use a knife tip to draw a design onto a wooden surface, and rub oil and a pigment into the design to make it show up more.
Equipment needed for this project:
- Mechanical pencil (make sure it has a good eraser)
- Bendable ruler (In the video I use a business card and also free-hand the pattern afterwards)
- Wooden spoon (I am using a maple wood spoon that I carved and pre burnished)
- Burnishing device (I use a decorative garden stone)
- Finishing oil (I use a food safe tung oil)
- Pigment (I use finely ground coffee)
- Paper (to practice the design)
- Kolrosing knife (I am using my knife made by Del Stubbs of Pinewood Forge)
- Hand towel (To balance the spoon on while kolrosing)
- Paper towel (To clean up the oil and coffee)
Intro/outro music by Danheim, the song is called Lifa & Dauðr from the album Hringrás: danheim.bandcamp.com/album/hr....
