Woodturning & Carving Medieval Helmet

Medieval Helmet

This post is best viewed right here. However, in case of difficulty, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.

This miniature medieval helmet is a hollow form with additional carving. This is based on a demonstration by George Watkins. His helmet was a hybrid wood and resin but he only display turning and carving.

I am not sure what species of wood this is.

Steps:

  1. Turn and hollow the hollow form.
  2. Sand a slant back so that the helmet leans back.
  3. Carve the eye slots and nose guard.

A fun turning and discussion piece.

Walnut oil brings out the color and grain.

Enjoy! But please do not attempt to wear it!
