My selection for Turning of the Week for August 8, 2022, is "Child of the Corn" by Brian Horais
The color and texture highlight the carved leaves. I especially like Brian’s use of the lathe to create the spiral of the leaves then carving and texturing the background. Well done!
“This 12-inch tall vase was turned from a block of Walnut. A 3-point multi-axis approach was used to create the twist. Texturing and coloring were added to the carved sections between the rising 'stalks'. When I finished the piece it reminded me of a stalk of corn with strands of brown husk curling around the inner corn. The finish is Watco oil buffed on the Beall system.”
