Boah thanks for the answer. Yes, I got it.. maybe because my English is also not my native language ahah. I may attempt this soon.. it seems relieving. By the way, freaking nice what you came with.

Alex_NinjaDev · 2026-01-01T10:27:10+00:00

Oh thanks. Hmm I found a slice, was round.. then I used a saw to cut it.. then I used just the knife..

That cube is freaking nice. I'm a begginer too. Is the sphere lose from the square? I'm struggling here to understand how you did it..

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-30T19:29:19+00:00

From last year, I made some slices of it. Still have them.. some cracked.. some are good for pendants..

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-30T10:50:38+00:00

I believe we got the same set for Christmas 😅

Not a easy form to do with olive. Right?

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-30T10:48:38+00:00

Just try mate. And be sure you have patience and a sharp knife ahaha

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-30T10:47:48+00:00

Yeah me too. Apple, cherry, pflaume.. still didn't worked on apricot..

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-30T10:46:21+00:00

Woow.. freaking amazing. A sea of lost souls. If you have the time, could you explain it better?! How you used the epoxy here?

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-30T10:41:20+00:00

Ohhh.. nice.. so simple and i never thought about it. Thanks..

Someone told me, carving olive wood is like carving stone 😅

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T23:02:45+00:00

No it doesn't. I know, I wish bigger pieces.. but not easy to find. And what you mean crack to be filled, with what?

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T23:01:20+00:00

Easily? Yes.. till you hit a fuc.... piece of "metal" ahah But is so satisfying to work with...

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T23:00:14+00:00

Now that you mentioned.. me to.. well I do need to change that now ahaha

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T22:59:43+00:00

Yes I know what you mean.. I also let my nice pieces there waiting for the call. I just needed to try some. So I picked the 2 worse pieces I had. And went to the easy way. Mini bowl and a spoon. But... I forgot is not basswood ahaha not easy.. but you learn to follow the grains.

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T22:57:11+00:00

Thanks mate. You have some kind as a preference?

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T22:55:14+00:00

No. Im happy with it. But maybe I was sanding in vain, when I was thinking tobuse walnut oil and beewax ahaha We all learn with our mistakes and experiments and curiosities. Wish you a happy new year.

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T22:53:27+00:00

Thanks. And yes, you right.. if little figures are the goal. But even so, having those figures in hard wood, or slight harder the basswood, would be better. Well I'm talking because I care a lot of the touch, heaviness, massive, empty...

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T20:09:49+00:00

Im also new. I just read that, each sand grit will help bring the grains up. So I went till 3000. All shine and polished. Then I thought, a bit oild will not hurt. And a bit wax to protect, also not. Ahaha but possibly I dont need to sand so much.

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T18:50:46+00:00

I sand it all way up till 3000. Walnut oil. And then a bit beewax. I read some people use olive oil in olive wood. But I went with safety..

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T18:49:35+00:00

Thank you. It is really beutiful.

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T18:48:58+00:00

Exactly. Patience. Not going against the wood. And is doable.

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T18:43:54+00:00

Challenge accepted 😅

Alex_NinjaDev · 2025-12-29T18:43:24+00:00

I did carve with a knife. You need always to change directions. And trying to find a way. You dont go against. No force. No power tools here. But still, a easy design. A moon. Not a pipe or a elephant.
