James McNabb inspired Cityscape SculptureA really fun project I did this past year during COVID lockdown.
- I used Mahogany, Fir, Cedar, Walnut, Maple, White Oak, Red Oak, cherry, ... I can't remember what else haha but I tried to give it some natural random color and contrast. I finished it with Odie's Oil to help the wood figure pop.To get the cut angle, I created a hold down jig for my table saw and cut each piece at 5 degrees (360 / 72 pieces = 5 degrees)Clamped everything together with a ratchet strap and I sanded the final glue-up to a circle with a temporary jig on my edge sander.I enjoyed the puzzle and challenge of figuring out how to make this. I love the end result and by design it was the perfect fit for my bookshelf centrepiece.Backlit with colour changing Nanoleaf lighting is great at night time.Cheers
