Shaun, a Woodworker's Take

- Made from Black Walnut & Curly Birch.
The walnut parts get a tung oil finish, applied after assembly. When dry the entire project is finished with a coat of matt lacquer, lightly buffed with 0000 steel wool, followed by one or two more coats of matt lacquer. Leather ears are cut and glued after the finish has been applied.
A bit about the production process:
Curly Birch is knowingly gnarly and after giving it a attempt shaping the Birch entirely on the lathe it soon became clear that my current turning tools are not up for the job. They aren’t beefy enough and therefore vibration chattered the surface beyond repair. As the discs that make up the body consists of three different sizes, I could get around this problem using hole saws and so I did. This was a pleasing alternative but still left to much of a ruff surface for hand sanding only, so I take it to the belt sander before finally sanding through several grids on the lathe. For the legs I decide to also take the easy route and use plug/ tenon cutters to ruff the legs into uniform shape out of one block of Walnut to then further refine them on the lathe.

Super cool! Those leather ears sure finish them of! Felt a bit sorry for them when they where hung by their necks ;)
Great video and great project!

Hi Kevin! The ears (and wonky legs too, I think) really give them character
That was really cool!! Great project and I liked the music.

Really cool!! For a second it looked like you turned your shop into a butchers shop with the hanging sheep and the axes on the back wall;)
Yeah, that looked kind of cruel...
Yea.... And we love your woodshop :D
I like it too

+joe brown hi Joe! I know, I know, it’s been a while. I’m currently working on a little something and it shouldn’t take long. Thanks a bunch Joe, much appreciated!!
Brilliant!!
Your plug cutter is huge!
that's what she said
Through and as you may have noticed, I like them a lot. I often find myself utilising them more then just for cutting plugs.
Really Nice !!
Awesome. Well worth the wait Maurice! Love the little leather ears! So what's the short story about why these were made? Gift for a relative maybe?
Exactly! I made one with the intention to give it to my niece and decided to make three more for kids from friends when traveling to Holland.
Very Cool !!
Wonderful! I imagine these sell well :)
I made these as gifts for relatives and friends. Thanks!
Super cool👍

Thanks Willem :-)
Ha ha! Very cool! :-) Nicely done Maurice!
Thanks Matt!
Nice work .
Thanks Glen
Schitterend Maurice !
Beautiful video and great little sheep. What kind of finish did you used for the head and the tail?
Tung oil and when dried a clear matt finish
nice!
Как всегда просто бомба!
Thanks :-)
Quality work as always! Do you feel the abranet is worth the extra money? I've only used some higher grit ones for finishing with orbital sander
Definitely worth it I think. It's a pleasure to use quality paper (though technically it isn't paper but you'll get the point :-)
Maestro ;)
nice
nice:)
tu és um genio kkkkkk
ewe are very talented
Not baaaaaaa'd :)
what lathe speed do you typically use when sanding?
Honestly I don't really know.. Whatever feels good and so that the paper doesn't get too hot. I do know that my lowest setting is 40 rpm and I sand higher then that.
beautefull
Honestly, I like them too :-)
5:10 At given time you ended up at point B3. ;)
Nice and funny! :)
Thank you Ondřej !
First!
Nice work!
First you were :-)
I spy a GB SFA!
Had to google that but, you're right ;-)
Baaaaaaa-d-ass!
I loved this video until you hung all the sheep. 😉great job.
Yeah, just before I finish them off (while the moon is raising) I hang em though there ear hole ;-)
Brilliant work my friend!! I love them and the video is very nice too! Meheheheheh
:-) did my best
