Repurposed old grips

I do like that candle base. The PH does look good. My new job that I start next week, will have alot of turning and carving that I will do on a regular basis. Some of it will be with a duplicator,but I will get to do the first pieces for the setup. Looks great mblashfield.

 

Yeah, I saw some rough necks show up in an art gallery once, with their hammers in tow.

The hazing was relentless...

 

I’m combining wood varieties to get height on the candle bases. My lathe is short without a bed extension.

 

Its called the right tool for the job. Ya don't show up with a R1 for "D-Superstock"

 

Is the taller one on the right bubinga?

 

Fuuuck that! How much do those gid god damned things weigh???

 

Not once he sees the ungrained wainscoting. Lol.

 

Redheart and Maple, the shorter one is East Indian Rosewood and maple.

 

We've done some cool work on a 200 year old church restoration recently. The original work was plaster that had degraded badly. The molds were no longer available so we reproduced them on our CNC routers with 3D software. There are 4 sets of everything.
All 100ft in the air.
The client was very happy.

Good luck on your next job! It’s cool to meet other hand working, creative types!

 

Alot..

 

All of them. That's a bad ass ceiling.

 

You really need to stop by our farm / shop. You’d fit right in, very nice work and I think mixing wood types isn’t done enough.

 

Cnc is sooo good for that.

 

Where are you located?

 

Just saw, Canada!

 

Can you elaborate on why the door is cut like that?

 

NOW that tagline makes more sense!
I'd have to say you've tamed that hand more than a bit.

 

Weather/wind blockage mainly. Plus the owner wanted a transom header at this particular opening that resembles some door at a castle in germany,hungary or chechoslovakia..........i dont remember where,he just shows us pictures from his vacations and tells us what he wants. In fact the lion knocker was purchased from whatever place he saw it. Im just the poor bastard that makes the stuff

 

Its an Ash Williams quote

 

I meant why is the top of the door cut off at all, is it just so it appears to be a bigger door than it actually is?
