Making clay tools from Buxwood

This is a craft processing tool made of clay and clay so that these materials can be processed when they are given homework at school. Sweet homework does not hurt a little imagination and comes in handy .

He was given the task of making something in clay and asked the lady if you had any tools to work on it other than your fingers. It was said not except for a pencil, a knife ...

I went a little to the workshop and looked at what iman and took this piece of wood ( Lat . Buxus ) we call it and Buxwood - that was cut just right for me

it is very beautiful that wood and it can be firm and smooth as very dark is that little cut piece

You get it well just need to separate it gently cut to leave the whole piece because it is close to the knot

so d I find something else that will be used for cutting and something for some holes and grooves to make. Now there is. all three pieces ready

First I started to work on that thin surface to make something out of it while the day is bright. To start, to smooth it and then sharpen it

it worked well and ... quite straight and sharp edges

After that I took this wood with a hook and started working

since it is an extremely very hard wood in the range of stone and metal, I had to remove the range to smooth with sandpaper on the cutter

here it is peeled off and processed edges and pointed tip. It can be said to look like something

This piece is so hard that I had no other than an angle grinder and a multi-layer fiber disc and so I took off the bark

flattened and blackened the wood burned a little while grinding

this black powder that creates black stains is soot created by processing this wood

finally everything is processed

and that BUXWOOD tree has a nice yellow color

now makes engraving engravings for decoration and need

after engraving, take a soldering iron and watch your fingers when using it because it is hot upstairs and it boils downstairs while burning wood

looks like from the video game MORROWIND and SKYRIM , still like this yellow with a black COOLLLLL epic tool

for the end, engraving in acacia wood is done as a base for clay work

The tool is ready to work, so now let it work and create in clay.
This is briefly for you on HIVE where the material for making the tool was improvised with a few photos and text so that it is easier to follow the work process.
