How to make a wooden off centre pendant on the wood lathe

 




Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Bandsaw

Hot glue gun kit

Buffing kit

Heat gun

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit


In this video I make a pendant out of ambrosia maple wood.


I want to thank my friend Mikael Masters for this beautiful wood. You can check Mikael’s work here:

I begun by drawing my basic design with a compass. I then drilled the hole for the strap on the drill press. I did that now because later I would have lost my mark. 


I then cut the basic shape on the bandsaw. 


Next I screwed a piece of plywood on my face plate.


To centre the piece easier I added circles on the piece with a pencil.


Then I hot glued my blank on the plywood. 


I used my bowl gouge to shape the piece. Then I heated a spatula and removed the piece from the face plate.


Using the hole I created earlier I re-mounted the piece on the face plate with a new centre point. 


I then shaped again with the bowl gouge.


I sanded the piece. I then applied a coat of sealer. Then I wet sanded to 600 and finally I buffed the piece with carnauba wax. 


And that was it. I think it came out beautiful. See you soon with a new project video.
