Ongoing Project (02)
Turning Air and Manitoba Maple.
| I take away part of the bottom to leave the faceplate screws proud of the work. The bottom is removed to that level and now shaped. I want to leave the crotch wood in place if possible to show off the feather grain around the join. |
|
| I am close to center at one end. |
|
| At the other I am both on center and distant. Crotch wood will often do that to you. If I had been able to start between centers I could have lined up the work there. |
|
| I begin to round off the bottom of the wing, cutting through the first center and turning to the others. |
|
| This leaves me with a series of ovals in one wing. Note that I have defined a depth of tenon in the center for a pedestal and have rounded corners for it as it meets the wing. This should give easier sanding than an abrupt line. |
|
| The waste wood is turned away to leave the overall shape. Next I need to sand the bottom and look at turning away the top. |
