Spiritwynd Wood Stone & Bone

Spiritwynd Wood Stone & Bone

Wood crafter by day, Housekeeper by night!
Follow me as I learn how to use a wood lathe! I've only been turning since January of 2021, so I have lots to learn! But I have fallen in love with it, and I know that I'll be doing it for years to come! I hope you join me, to watch my progress!
I have always loved working with wood, be it power carving pendants, learning to chip carve, making Bentwood Rings with stone inlay, or just plain whittling for fun!
I also do Pyrography, that I may incorporate into my woodturning at some point in time.
I also power carve bone pendants, and earings, that are loved by everyone!

    Love the bowl and the beaded band. Really adds to the composition. One suggestion, don’t forget grain direction and to cut down hill. My thought about the lid is to ask the question, will the customer support the increased price point? You have the cost of the bowl, the beaded band, and now a lid. If they won’t pay what you need out of it then, no lid. Something to try, make a lid for 1 or 2 and see if your customers are willing to pay the extra. If the lidded ones fly out before the unlidded ones start selling then you know the lid is needed. Just don’t give the lid away and cheat yourself.

  • @spiritwynd
    @spiritwynd28 күн бұрын

    My thoughts exactly on the lids! I'm going to make 2 to start. And I was wondering who was going to comment first about the grain direction. I did give it a sheer cut after cutting against the grain, but still no excuse.🫣

    You never fail to wow me with how clever you are Heather ! I mean, how the bead-band has enough stretch to just 'snap' on. Love it ! I'm still trying figure out how to make a copper or brass band work w/o a visible seam. Thanks for sharing. Take care. -Mike p.s. yes, gardening is allowed to compete with turning & YT.

    I have to agree (somewhat) about the CA . You're really only sticking the wood to itself. Although, I did try another ring, after this one, by CA gluing shavings to roughed up blank. I didn't like the results and had to use a carbide cutter to remove the glue and shavings
