@paul.joshua_ Als Abschlussarbeit in meiner Weiterbildung als „Gestalter im Handwerk“ entwarf ich ein neues Design für Schachfiguren. Alle 32 Figuren wurden von Hand gedrechselt, der Kopf des Springers wurde mit dem Messer geschnitzt. Als Hölzer verwendete ich Ahorn und Nussbaum. Größe und Proportionen entsprechen den Turnierstandards im Schach. Die Figuren wurden mit Messinggewichten beschwert. Ich … Gedrechselte Schachfiguren weiterlesen →

For beginners, this can be a little overwhelming. You can narrow down your selection with the following sweeping statements. Don’t use softwoods (e.g. pines and spruces), don’t use ring porous species (e.g. oaks and ashes). Of course, you can carve a spoon from any wood but diffuse-porous wood tends

I will try to post some patterns to use for setting 12 inch finished blocks. It is not as simple as I thought it would be, because the images can't just be copied and pasted into the blogger template, but have to be uploaded separately. Plus, I can't figure out how to add in a table that I usually use for yardage and cutting instructions, so I will add that as a list, instead. At the store, we have a booklet available which I wrote some years ago, which contains 21 patterns. Unfortunately I can't just upload all of those at once either, as the computer that 19 of them were stored on crashed a few years ago, so I would have to re-type them all. (And I have no clue which USB stick they were backed up on.) Not to say that I wouldn't do that sometime, but not all at once. This is Setting number 20 from the booklet and has been very popular in previous years. 20. Two Side Sashing a Setting Pattern for 12-Inch Blocks uses 20 blocks finished size is about 74" x 88" a Periwinkle Pattern by Michelle Harris, 2012, free to print out and use for personal use The sampler blocks are 12-1/2" with the seam allowances; they will finish at 12" when sewn into the quilt. There are sashing strips only on 2 sides of the blocks. When laid out to form the pattern, the blocks rotate back and forth. (NB, This is a good pattern for when your sampler blocks have not all come out at the same size! you could cut the sashings wider, and then trim them all to one size before you assemble them into the quilt top, thus absorbing the size differences from block to block) Fabrics: A. Light Grey in the picture , used for Sashing for Blocks 1.1m (44") Cut 2 strips, 15" by the wof,* from these strips, sub-cut 20 rectangles, 3" x 15" Cut 1 strip, 12-1/2" x wof from this strip, and from the leftovers above, sub-cut 20 rectangles, 3" x 12-1/2" B. Inner Border Fabric (finishes at 1-1/2") .5m (18") Cut 8 strips, 2" x wof C. Outer Border Fabric (finishes at 6-1/2") 1.5m (60") Cut 8 strips, 7" x wof D. Binding Fabric .7m (24") Cut 9 strips, 2-1/2" x wof *wof means the width of fabric from selvage to selvage, usually between 42" and 44" Step One: Sew the Sashing rectangles to the sides of each block. If there is any variation in the size of your blocks, now is the time to even them all up! Measure them, and then trim them all to the same size, cutting the extra bits off of the sashing rectangles to keep the points on your sampler block intact. Step Two: Lay out the 20 blocks into a 4 column, 5 row arrangement, referring to the diagram above to see how to rotate the block. You might want to shift the blocks around until you are pleased with the way that the colors balance out. Sew the blocks into rows, and then sew the rows together. Step Three: Add the borders. To make the strips long enough, you will have to join the strips end to end and the cut the border to the size needed. When joining lengths, some people prefer to use a diagonal join . To do that, just overlap the ends of the strips at a 90° angle ,and then sew from corner to corner. Trim off the extra fabric and press. Cut the length of the borders as you go, because the length of them depends on the size of your central unit as it grows larger. Using the narrow, 2" strips for the inner border, cut the two side borders to the same measurement as the height of your center unit. Sew them to the sides and press seams out. Cut the top and bottom borders to the new width of the center unit and sew them on. Repeat this for the outer borders. Step Four: Layer the quilt with the batting and backing, and baste. Quilt! Step Five: Binding. Trim away the extra batting and backing fabric. This uses a double fold binding. Sew the 2-1/2" strips of binding fabric end to end with 45° diagonal seams. Trip away the extra fabric, and then press the strip in half lengthwise, with right side facing out, matching the raw edges. Starting partway along one of the sides, stitch the raw edges of the binding to the top side of the quilt, folding the strip into a false iter at each corner. Turn the folded edge of binding to the back of the quilt and had stitch it into place.

Carving is something that is an intensely personal art that is done with the use of a small instrument held in the hand or at best with a chisel and hammer. In this article, we are going to be looking at very small wood carvings which though small in size, can pack a really big punch. By now we are sure that you must have given over to your instinct and looked at the images we have posted along with this article. Wood carving or as some call it whittling is not easy but there is something soothing about the process that draws us to it. Yes, there are other forms of carving like the art of carving fruits and vegetables, which though fun is not something that has a long shelf life, which can put you off this project. But if you want to have some practice and control over the way you hold and wield the knife or carving tool, then you can do some vegetable carving to get going.
I’m obsessed with night sky scapes and galaxy art, so I decided to make them ornaments this year! Each slice of wood is sourced by me, and each will be unique in its size and shape! No two wood slices are the same, that’s what makes these awesome! These one of a kind Christmas ornaments make the best gifts for friends and family! Hand-painted wood slice ornaments are the perfect rustic addition to your Christmas decor. Celebrate a first family Christmas, first Christmas as a couple, a newlywed Christmas, even an anniversary Christmas! This Christmas ornament is a green galaxy forest and is hand-painted on a wood slice. Each slice will be slightly different, but all designs will be the same! My parents bought a new Christmas ornament each year and added it to their collection! They also make great gifts for friends, teachers, or coworkers. ✨Each painted wood ornament is painted on a wood slice (wood slice may vary) and hung with string. ✨The wood slices vary in size are approximately 3”- 4” in diameter.
