Looks really great Lisa in 2006 I had the Privilege of traveling to Mwanza Tanzania and watching the African cane maker Carve some beautiful canes and they would inlay bands of Cooper in the wood and to do this they would make a v shape in the wood and then place their wire in the v shape leaving the wire proud and then gently tap it down into the v and then they would sand off what was still proud leaving it smooth to the wood surface no glue or adhesive needed to keep it there Blessings.

Hi Lisa ! - The bowl embellishment came out a lot better than I expected - more than pleasantly surprised ! Another thing that made sense is the 1:1:1 band sizing - the ole rule of thirds is a good one eh ! Great design. - Copper banding ? I did a few 18" Quidditch brooms and I used tiny brass nails and RTV (ES8000?) but no solder. Since the shape was a cone and would slip into place, I was able to crimp the end together like duct workers do. Make sense ? - Light, red, close grain you say ? Old too ? Then it's redwood from Back in The Day. Good find - the tree has thrice blessed ! Thanks for sharing and take care. -Mike

@LisaRamlow

Жыл бұрын

Mike! Hello my friend. Yes, I’m pretty sure it is redwood. Have some nice big chunks left to play with. Your Quidditch broom construction makes perfect sense. I didn’t really explain the copper band part very well - I cut a channel in the “glass” where the band would sit, then parted that off at about half so I could slide the band on and then glue the top of the glass back on. I shaped the copper on a piece of pvc pipe and clamped it to get it to hold the shape more of less, but the trying to solder the butt-joint together was ridiculous. I think I could maybe clamp it around a piece of scrap wood and solder it on that, where it wouldn’t matter if the wood got scorched or not. I can’t remember if I published a pic of the beer-stein looking thing I did with the White Tree of Gondor etched into a copper plate? I’ll send you a pic by email - I made little copper rivets from a piece of romex ground wire for that one and then drilled all the way thru the mug and inserted them from the inside out, and then mushroomed the other end over top of the copper plate and bands. Anyway, I think it all looks really cool but epoxy hasn’t worked out well either so I’m still on the hunt for a way to secure a band around something. Or maybe I should just “paint” it with copper powder and it’ll *look* like a copper band 🤣.

I'm not a turner but I hope to one day, but I have two suggestions: Take the item off the lathe and use a banding wheel (a type of lazy Susan used in pottery) for the painting - you'd be sitting and working horizontally instead of standing and working vertically. Second, create a separate channel just outside the carved area for the wire; if it's tight enough compression would be enough to hold the wire in place, then varnish to secure it.

Thanks Matt! Yes, this is very light weight. I’m guessing a conifer of some sort, likely old growth redwood or something similar. It was an enormous chunk of wood and a single piece at that.

I just started doing a carved band in a few bowls. I may have to try the micro powder. It gives a nice look. As far as the wood identification. I bet its redwood. My first thought was western red cedar but you would have noticed the cedar odor. To me redwood does not have much odor and can look like cedar.

Hi MAM..like the bowl looks nice...do you know of a epoxy called milliput it comes in tube form there are two rolls in each box which you cut off what you want and mix them by hand there are different colours and you can mix them it is nice for banding around bowls an the like dries real hard and you sand to a great finish... i hope I'm not being to forward as you may know of it....happy turning.....DAVID..N.S.W .
