I made a lot of these several years ago, but never downloaded them they do appear to be very popular. He is made from a piece of Beech and has a carrot for a nose, wearing a top hat and holding a song sheet or hymn book, I used a pyrography tool for his mouth.
I hope this tutorial will guide you through the steps as how to make this.
I try to use this woodturning channel as a platform to share ideas, and to demonstrate to other wood workers the steps needed to achieve this.
I use many different types of wood in varying combinations, as well as combining this with resins, i tend to use glass cast 50 as i can use this without the need of a pressure pot.
For my finishes I use things like Wood dyes spirit based and water based, high gloss wax and
Boiled Linseed Oil - Danish oil and hard wax oil. I also like to experiment with differing textures to give my bowls a different feel to them
For my actual wood turning i use a galaxy DVR lathe 14 44 which is very versatile, which gives me the ability to turn a 14-inch bowl or spindle length of 44-inchs
