Love to, George... how the hell did you make it?

Bandsaw before turning? after? carved?


Before. From there it's just another interrupted-edge turning.

Key is getting a good heart pattern. I use some vector art and my computer
to make a basic heart fit the piece of wood. I work a circle on the same
pattern so that the tip of the heart and the farthest points of the curves
fall in the same plane.

Doublestick tape to the wood, and remember to make the relief cut(s) in a
few places if you're too lazy to take that 1/2 blade out of the saw.

It's perhaps a half hour in the shop, plus layout and finish. Isn't she
worth it?
