After turning a four stave vase, then a three stave art object, I was challenged to turn a two stave heart.

Wood preparation is much simpler. But undercutting the upper lobes was not. My band saw did not provide a very good option either.

Still, a two stave process may be perfect for a heart. Keep it in mind for next Valentine’s Day.

My heart is poplar about 2″ by 2″ x 0.5″ painted with acrylic paint and sealed with rattlecan lacquer. The finial is plum finished with shellac friction polish.

Enjoy!
