Australian Wood Review – June 2017

(Steven Felgate) #1
arrows indicate the carving directions I have followed. The left and right
sides are mostly long grain, while the top side is endgrain, where the
curve of the side causes a grain change at each end.


  1. Once the 43–35mm bevel has been carved, the 25mm line can be
    drawn onto the bevel. I used a compass as shown to do both this line
    and the 62mm line (which could have been more easily done earlier). I
    used a scrap of ply to raise the compass point to the level of the 35mm
    line – this is only approximate, and I should point out that we do not
    need to worry about precision in any of these measurements. Small
    errors will not be noticeable. The black arrow shows the last bevel to
    be carved.
