Kelly Dunn, from Hawaii, sits in on Phil's presentation |
One of the pieces Phil did in an earlier session is finished up |
The combination of dyes allows for a myriad of effects to be created |
With a high gloss finish, it is an interesting piece |
I only had a few minutes at the end of Phil Brennion's southwestern design session |
This was one of Phil's example pieces |
I attended the Stuart Mortimer twisted box session for the Saturday mid-morning rotation |
Stuart explains what his plan of attack is going to be |
Stuart creates a walnut box |
He hollows it and quickly sands it |
That part is removed |
Stuart begins to create the top to the box |
With the proper fit, the boxes lid is thinned down for the spiralling |
The box bottom is chucked and the lid is friction fit to continue shaping |
Areas that can be sanded are and then final shaping is done |
The spiral finial is created |
A look at the finial prior to sanding |
The box bottom is chucked by using tape around the rim |
The bottom of the box is finished and sanded |
The box is assembled and given a coating of shellac |
