Wood turning an Angel out of Acacia. The Angel in this video is 10 inches tall with turned wings that wrap towards the angels front. I have seen a similar design where the wings turn outwards from the Angel but in this design i use a winged bowl method to make the wings lay in a more natural way making for a more striking Angel design.

The Angel design has a very light sales patent on it and may not be sold by anyone else at a market I am attending. This is here for a specific reason and due to a certain individual. My apologies to everyone else. It can of course be turned and sold at any market I am not at and I would be delighted to see it being done.

Thanks for your great video and instructions, I have just completed this project using Australian Sheoak as the wings Australian Jarrah as the body, the Sheoak is a light hardwood timber and the Jarrah is a dark hard wood timber the finish project looks great and has pride of place in my office, once again many thanks I will keep watching.

Great video Shay! As soon as I saw the slow motion I said to myself, “ooooooh no, no, no, no!!” Then BOOM! So distressing when that happens! But, as you say, it happens to everyone. I was actually recording the deepest cherry vase I’ve ever done recently. It was going to be my first uploaded video to my channel and I was really proud of it. But when I was about 97% done with the hollowing I got a catch and it exploded on me! Oh well, chalk it up to a learning experience! Haha! Loved the video this week. Can’t wait until the next one!

That's lovely. The grain in the halo is wonderful. I really like Acacia and was lucky to get flooring off-cuts that became some of the most beautiful pens I have ever made. You got me a job because my wife happened to walk past as you showed the finished angel and it's on the Honey-do list now. Thank God you weren't painting a wall or door! Best Wishes, Brendan.

Hi Shay, That is stunning. A lot of people don't show when things don't go according to plan. If any of my projects go pear shaped I always leave it in as well.

@nicholascirino1856 10 месяцев назад

Just found this. Amazing. I’m new to turning. Can I ask how do you sand those wings with those cuts. Seems like I’ll get my fingers jammed? Could you make the bowl first and cut out the sections after

@BBTurning 10 месяцев назад

I used a piece of sponge behind the sandpaper Nicholas but what I have been doing lately is as you suggested and cutting the wings after I finish them. You can't use a bandsaw to do it though as it will rip the wings apart, you need to use a fret/coping saw. If you have a look at the other blue angel video I show how to do it. Here is a link to it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiCO6svxYbc.html Shay

@glencrandall7051 3 года назад

Outstanding. The shape and proportions are excellent. Beautiful piece of timber. Lovely finish. Have you considered making the cut outs in the wings after you finished the turning? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy. Happy holidays from the US.

@BBTurning 3 года назад

Thanks Glen, yes I tried it that way first and found it was a lot more difficult getting them the same on all sides. When you mark on a flat piece of wood it's very easy to get them balanced. I have an idea in my head for a mark 2 angel which will require a saw cut after the wings are turned. I just have not had the time to prototype it yet. Shay

@nick50 2 года назад

Lovely work ,would drilling the wings after they were finished work ?

@BBTurning 2 года назад

The problem is Nicholas lining up the spaces in the wings and drilling a very thin piece of wood. I kind of got around the problem in this years angel video by doing it differently due to having resin in the wings. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiCO6svxYbc.html

@BBTurning 2 года назад

@@tmikeporter I did a mark2 as a one off special there might be something else in that. I did use a different way to get the gaps in the wings ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiCO6svxYbc.html . Grain wise just make sure you use a tight grained wood and especially with the wings it cannot have a flaw, even the slightest crack will cause them to blow out as you will be bringing the edges to practically nothing. When doing the wings treat it like a winged bowl and remember speed is your friend with them. If you can get the halo to sit in between the top wing gap it looks very well. Shay
