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:
- Turn and hollow the hollow form.
- Sand a slant back so that the helmet leans back.
- 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!
Very nice
