This one kinda popped into my head with zero context so let’s call it art:
The two faces are maple, turned and slightly domed on the lathe. I then dyed one face using India ink and carved it using a few different Kutzall burrs mounted on a Dremel, exposing the underlying maple. The other face was first carved and then dyed to get the reverse look. They sandwich a smaller disc and the surrounding LED strip, which is powered by a battery pack hidden in the plywood base (painted to look vaguely concrete-ish).
I’ll try to post a video of the technique eventually. Video editing is sometimes more time-consuming than making the physical item.
Ah, I saw you working on this in the shop the other day, it turned out so cool! Thanks for sharing! Also, are you on instagram? We’d love to follow you
@valerie, I’m not but probably should be given that I have a handful of videos I’d like to start sharing with the world. I’ll get it lined up and drop you a line and follow on IG.
