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!
