Thanks! It’s sanded down for the most part. I just need to do a final round or two of sanding. I forgot to sand before I took it off the lathe, so I’ve been having to do all the sanding by hand and since I didn’t have any oils yet I’ve been doing it slowly. But I should be able to get it worked on today
Thanks! It does still need a little sanding, I forgot to sand before I took it off the lathe lol. I’ll have to check out the oils you suggested. Thanks for the advice!
So I have a rough idea of how I’m going to cut the corners I want, I mainly was looking for the type of name of the corner/edge so when I went to my local woodcrafting store it would be easier to ask what tools/bits I need. Or just explain to them what I’m doing, the guys that work there are older gentlemen that love to talk about tools and projects so they are always genuinely interested in what people are making.
Thanks for the advice though, I hadn’t originally thought of additional rails/fence, most of my router work has been “let me route this edge and make it look nice” or “I can recess the wire for this bird feeder with a rabbet” I’ve never thought about using it to cut off a big corner of wood before so I may have to try it out on some scrap wood and see how it goes.
Thanks! The colors are all done with wood stain not paint. I did have some help from some of my LGBTQ friends when picking out colors and I had to go through a few different tests with the colors to get the right ones but I found them eventually.
Thanks! I just did this piece for fun and experimenting. I do however run a very small woodworking shop and while I haven’t done something quite like this for open sale (mainly due to the amount of time it takes for this one small piece) It’s something I would consider doing in the future or taking commissions for. If you like my work and would like to see more of what I do you can check out my woodworking page on Instagram instagram.com/freyasforestforge
Thanks! Yeah it is a bit weird when you think about it lol. I actually had a similar conversation with a friend of mine, his comment was something along the lines of I’m glad you’re a woodworker and not a mortician lmao
