I don't know if anyone's posted this here before, but it was knew to me and I thought it was neat: Making Matryoshka (mostly) by hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtFC4_UaPzI I especially like the business about using the two pieces of wood at different humidity so that they "grip" each other properly.

I enjoyed watching the use of a very sharp knife on the lathe Ed |

Also wondering about Limewood. Is that the same wood that Grinling Gibbons used to get all that fantastic detail out of his carvings? What is another name for that wood? And do they turn that 12” log dow to 2-3-4” and that’s all you get? Ed |

"Lime" is Brit-speak for "basswood". > And do they turn that 12â log dow to 2-3-4â and thatâs all you get? I understood them to say that they split out the smaller billet in order to get the best/most-stable/most-consistent grain. But basically, yeah. Also, I liked the potato-based primer for the wood, but I must admit that I was a bit suspicious about how quickly the they skipped over the discussion of the all-natural finish/varnish that was "safe to be rubbed on by hand".

That was an awesome video , if yo do any wood turning at all , you will appreciate the skill these lady's have. The shape of the business end of her turning tool was interesting and definitely effective . Kind of a combination skew and parting tool , I would guess that time is money and having a to change tools every couple seconds is not very efficient. I also found the method they use for priming the dolls very interesting , I would have never thought of using potato starch as a sealer, I'm going to have to research that a little more . Thanks for posting this. |
