Straight from the workshop

Postby Dalboy » 09 Feb 2018, 18:41

Two pieces straight out of the workshop within the few last hours.
Both of these are really just experiments
The little pot with the slots running up and down was finished with copper paint which did dry very shiny but when I put a finish on it went matt in colour as the finish was a satin finish. The outside I used the pyrography machine to apply the texture and then ebonising spray followed by a misting of Golden acrylic interference paint in blue.
The second piece with the ripples was from a tutorial of ripple surface effect by Dennis Gooding on another site his was a random ripple and he got a 50% success rate so I was pretty pleased to have managed to complete this on my first but then I did cheat to get mine to ripple and in a more uniform way

Nice pieces. You piqued my curiosity with that rippled one. Had to google how it was done as you gave a name as a starting point. Simple when you know how.

I don't have any urge to go back to turning myself, though I still have the lathe and tools, but it is interesting seeing the items you post. Much more advanced than anything I made.

Thank you Robert

Was that the one on the American association of woodturners as that is where I got the idea and you will also see the pegs in place on mine

Looks good Derek.

Like the look of the ripple one.
