The making of a wooden vessel.

2/6/2012

8 Comments

 
Here's a photo journal of some steps involved in the creation of a wooden vessel. I will use few words and many pictures.
The first step is acquiring a log from a locally fallen tree. In this instance it's a Boxelder log that I located at the Fergus Falls' landfill's wood pile (more on that later).

Picture
Rip the log down the middle.

Picture
Trim the edges.

Picture
Begin carving the vessel's containment area.

Picture
Top side/containment area complete.

Picture
Remove excess mass from underside and mark feet locations.

Picture
Carving completed.

_Fast forward through drying; final sanding and shaping; dying of the underside; applying oil; waxing; and...Ta Da, finished piece!
