That's a pretty form, Hughie. How long did you work on it?
Andy I did not really pay too much attention to the time frame. Perhaps about 4-5hrs all told over several days, I expect this to be less on any subsequent ones. I started the project with out the right tools
so lost a bit of time there. CL is a very soft wood and very easy to turn and carve.
I like the effect of asymmetry the fluting gives the piece, what tools did you use to achieve it please.
small world Dragonfly. My lathe has a 24 stop set up. So there are 24 flutes with the lines drawn with a compass, carved with a dremel and a archer reciprocating carver attachment, file and sandpaper.
Very nice shape. It would have looked better against a neutral background, ie lightbox etc.
True Roger, I have yet to build my light box, also it would have better if I had the darker grain area at the top rather than the bottom where it is now.
