Wooden Segmented Sculpture

This is my first ever YouTube video. It shows the process of me making my segmented sculpture “æternum”. This piece has been selected to be part of the Royal Academy of Arts, Young Artist’s Summer Show. I hope you enjoy watching!

First I selected a piece of utile, planed it down and re-sawed it in half. I then used my table saw to rip the planks to width and my mitre saw to cut the segments. Once I had cut all the segments I used duck tape and clamps to hold the wood together while the glue dried. Once they had dried I used my edge sander to sand the two halves flat before gluing them together with more tape!

After I had used my lathe to turn the three bowls round I used my bandsaw to cut each one in half so I had 6 half-bowls! I then used more tape and glue to stick the half bowls back together in different directions. Once sanded I used a coat of sanding sealer before applying 4 coats of melamine spray lacquer, sanding between coats. I finished it off with a coat of wood wax before buffing it a high shine!
