Today I started on making a twisted stool. Well thats what I'm calling it anyway!
Its going to be a similar size to a bar stool when finished. It measures 700mm high x 320mm sqaure.
After a initial bit of head scratching as to where and how to mark the spiral on the wood the chainsaw was revved up and cutting commenced.
Trying to put a symmetrical spiral in a solid piece of oak is a little tricky but with a little perseverance the stool started to take shape.
The chainsaw work is more or less finished now and I'm awaiting a new 'saborr tooth' sanding wheel so that I can get it looking something like.
The piece of timber is taken from a large section of oak that was felled at Samlesbury. The tree was felled as part of a small woodland clearance to make way for Thwaites brewery's new site. Its a really stunning piece of wood, I'm not entirely sure what I will do with the rest of it yet, It would make some lovely boards, so maybe a large dining table may be in order?
