Did you know that you can make a pattern bit using any of the Klingspor's 1/2" shank straight bits and a Bearing Lock Collar (Item number WLC12) and a 3/4" OD-1/2" ID Bearing (Item number WB19).
A big thanks goes out to Mac Martin who submitted this customer project to us.
About the project:
The sculpture is a "layering" of spalded white oak, alder, walnut, red cedar and mahogany. The finish is hand rubbed poly applied two coats BEFORE assembly.
Sam Stitcher turned this beautiful candle holder. He purchased the laminated wood from Klingspor's Woodworking Shop in Winston-Salem. He turned it on a small lathe and finished it with Formby's Tung Oil Varnish. The dimensions are 2.8" diameter and 3" high. It can hold a tealight or votive candle.
