February 2019 - This project involved using more than carving tools as I
first had to turn 5 basswood eggs on my lathe. The eggs are 2.75" tall and
2" in diameter. I then used my carving tools to shape the owls and used my
Razortip Wood Burner to burn in all the lines. Then I used my band saw
to cut out the shape of the tree from a piece of white birch which is a hard
wood so the shaping of the tree was with a combination of my Fordom, two
Dremels and a variety of carving burrs. The coloring was with acrylic paints
and finished with a spray on Satin Laquer. I don't spend as much time as I
used to in my shop so the whole project took about 2 months to complete as I
worked on a couple of other projects during the same 2 months.
