Week 4 Reflection - PREP

 Week 4 Reflection

Today I went straight to the wood work room and started rounding and shaping my crosses, at the moment I have 2 completely finished crosses and 1 half finished cross. All of my other crosses are cut and sanded but not rounded, shaped and stained. 

I made some pretty good progress today and might decide to make a couple of them into Christmas ornaments. The only bad thing was that I accidentally over sanded one of my crosses and it is now a bit buggered although I could possibly make that into a design feature.

 Week 3 Reflection

Today I posted some photos of me cutting the log of wood I'll be using for my project, sanding it etc.          I then went into the work shop to cut my log of wood into crosses on the drop saw and smooth the edges on an electric sander. There were a couple of things that went wrong in this procedure; one being that the band saw I was using was uneven and resulted in my crosses thickness varying. Everything else was all good though and the wood coloring was exceptionally nice. The timber that my crosses are being made of is fejoa and has a really nice look to it if stained using a light wood rub.
