Woodturning and wood carving a spiralling candle holder

 

Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

PROXXON Longneck Angle Grinder

Foredom Woodcarving Kit

Forstner bit set

In this video I make this spiralling form out of poplar. 

I begun by trueing the piece between centres and then I turned a tenon for the chuck.

After shaping the exterior form with a bowl gouge I drilled the interior with a forstner bit. 

I then used my dividing set up and marked my spirals. 

I started removing material with my carving grinder. 

I then used a v shaped rasp bit on my rotary tool to finish shaping. 

Then using my sanding blocks I sanded the piece. 

After parting the piece off the lathe I carved the bottom with three legs. 

Finally I applied a coat of mineral oil.

I am very happy with the result, but that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
