Finished the lorry today made from tulip wood and mahogany. This is just a toy for a young great grandson so it was a decision as to whether to make the body tip so I decided to have it fixed when he is a little older then I can make one with some working parts.
I have used chestnut products...
I just had to do something as I have been busy with other things. So a quick rummage and found some box blanks which I cut off of the corners of planks which I turned into bowl blanks.
This is Elm and finished with sander sealer and carnauba wax.
I watch a youtube video over Christmas, it started off quite good. The material was about 8in square about 2in thick. The guy show how when the corners came around the chisels could dig in depending on which way the grain ran.
He started the lathe and was turning from the centre of the work out...
