wooden blank in jig. this way i can cut the elliptical curve at an angle. |
cutting the curve on the bandsaw. |
finishing up the the curve on the disc sander. |
i really like the shapes created by the intersection of the curve and the flat planes in the wood. |
got a surprise exhibition in a couple of days. just going to cast it quickly and make an appearance model. i have hollowed out the centre to make sure i have enough pewter. |
ready for casting. |
foam started to float so i had to hold it down with a stick. |
started picking out the foam. ive got the weekend to get the foam out and dry the plaster so i can cast it on monday. going to be tight. |
