The Loyal Lathe
Custom wood turning
🌳✨ Story of a Honey Pot ✨🌳
1️⃣ Harvesting Nature's Bounty:
In a quiet woodland, where trees stand as silent storytellers, we carefully select sustainably harvested wood or fallen trees. Nature's gift becomes the canvas for our creations.
2️⃣ Layers of Legacy:
Picture this - three layers, each telling a tale of Walnut, Cherry, and Walnut again. Bound together with patience and precision, the glue-up is a dance of craftsmanship. It rests for 24 hours, a period of anticipation, before the transformation begins.
3️⃣ The Dance of the Lathe:
Mounted delicately on the lathe, the piece spins, revealing its secrets. A screw chuck finds its place, unlocking the hidden beauty within. With each pass of the bowl gouge, the exterior takes shape, leaving behind a tenon, a connection to its origin.
4️⃣ Unveiling the Heart:
Flipped and secured in a jaw chuck, the true artistry begins. A bowl gouge, in skilled hands, hollows out the piece to the desired depth and thickness. Sanded to a smooth embrace of 600, it rests momentarily, a vessel ready to cradle moments.
5️⃣ Maple Symphony:
Enter spalted hard maple, a harmonious companion. It turns gracefully, crafting a lid and handle that complete the tale. A guide hole, wood glue, and the honey dipper take their place - a perfect union. Clamped and left to dream for 24 hours, a masterpiece is in the making.
6️⃣ Tung Oil Elegance:
The final act unfolds with Tung oil, a 100% food-safe elixir. Applied generously, it seeps into the fibers, creating a waterproof sanctuary. Patiently, we wait - up to 10 days - as the cure transforms the creation into not just art but a functional masterpiece.
✨ A Symphony of Craftsmanship:
And there it is, a vessel born from the whispers of the forest, a storyteller in its own right. Ready to cradle your honey!
P.S. Do you have a honey pot? Do you think they're useful?
