Nice work, after getting my first lathe in january i have been slowly getting more and more tools...now i want some of these haha. My wifes going to kill me.
These are great tools!, my experience is that, RPM, wood density, and the angle at which the tool is presented to the spinning piece will vary the design, Take notes! It's hard to duplicate the design on further work. Once you master the technique,the testing and trial and error is worth the effort.
That’s really nice. How do you add the color without getting it into the recesses cut by the tool so you still maintain the bare wood contrast. Are you using paint or some type of marker? Great job.
The best woods to use for any decorative / detail work is any that have a close grain structure....The slower growing the tree the closer grained the wood..........
0:11 there are a lot of patterns on those bowls that are not explained in the video!! The swirly 'S' the bishop's crook, for example, it would be nice to know how they were done.
Byron Bedenbaugh I do and it seems to work out alright. Hopefully, as it was a year since your post, you have successfully created some textures. James
Good morning Jim...Please look on the stockists page on the Robert Sorby website for your nearest stockist or appropriate mail order supplier of Robert Sorby products
Good morning AffordBindEquipment...I would like to help you with the use of the Spiralling and texturing tool. Please can you explain what you mean by your statement...Thank you
Order will be texture, colour, liming wax, buff off to remove excess wax from surface but not remove from texture. Not sure what colour used here but anything that wont react with wax is fine - I’d use a spirit stain.
