So this week, after three weeks or so of putting it together sees the reveal of the sister piece to that I've been showing off in Turner's Journey recently.
Face-plate turning is not something I do much off, but this piece was entirely turned on a face-plate - and I loved it!
This arty wood turning piece is malle burr wood from Australia and has been turned and sculpted on the lathe to resemble something rather old, almost fosillised, I guess. The ripples have been coated with Modern Masters Reactive Paint and the central boss has been given a copper leaf treatment.
The back has been rusted with the reactive paints and then the entire piece was mounted onto a lacquered stand using two brass rods for support off the block itself.
In the video, I show how I used the bowl gouge for almost the entire turning and show how I applied the iron and bronze reactive paints to the piece and then add the copper leaf and activator sprays.

This is my way of turning this project - Other turners may turn it differently and you may find your own way of reaching the same result.
