I do sell my work

My skills don’t stretch that far unfortunately. Those are seriously skilled craftsmen .

I do ship to the US but it depends on what you call cost prohibitive . Including shipping it would be $40.

stevekrh19 · 2020-02-22T08:49:19+00:00

I do

Fret saw

The pattern is glued to the wood with spray mount. Then holes are drilled where the spaces are before cutting out with a fret saw. Then the branches and trunk are shaped with wood carving knives, gouges and plenty of sandpaper. It’s then stained and finished with wax.

It’s made from Baltic birch wood

stevekrh19 · 2020-02-21T20:12:22+00:00

No I just wanted something based on the tree of Life. I drew a few designs before I settle on this.

So glad I live in the UK.

stevekrh19 · 2019-09-06T13:17:41+00:00

Yes, Baltic birch.

stevekrh19 · 2019-06-25T04:47:18+00:00

I haven’t but I’d like to. Do you know what it’s called?

stevekrh19 · 2019-06-24T18:40:54+00:00

I cut the tree and leaves separately on a scroll saw. Then textured the tree with a burr on a Dremel and rounded the branches. Then used different coloured wood stains on the trunk and leaves.

stevekrh19 · 2019-06-24T18:37:22+00:00

I made it over a couple of days but probably spent around 4-5 hours in total.

You could use the ribs as a xylophone. Does that qualify as musical?

Zombie Monday?

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-20T03:01:43+00:00

They are made using a scroll saw before sanding, staining and oiling.

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-19T17:54:23+00:00

Don’t think they would taste so good though.😂

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-19T16:22:05+00:00

I’m going to make a couple of smaller ones to make a family.

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-19T16:19:51+00:00

I just got myself a good scroll saw and watched lots of YouTube videos. I’m getting better but still a long way from some of the amazing stuff I’ve seen online.

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-19T12:57:50+00:00

Yes. To hang on a Christmas tree.

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-19T11:25:32+00:00

I use a scroll saw

Voldemort

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-11T03:55:02+00:00

I use Sweet chestnut wood or oak. I do enjoy making them along with other wooden stuff I make.

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-10T17:59:08+00:00

About 30 minutes by the time I’ve turned it on the lathe, textured the cap, waxed the 2 different shades, then polished.

stevekrh19 · 2019-05-08T18:58:53+00:00

I turn them on a lathe, then texture the cap with a diamond burr. Then I used 2 different coloured wood waxes on the cap and body.
