Thank you for the video. I know you answered the question about wood cracking, but I can't believe that such a wet, raw wood does not develop a large crack within a year or two due to drying due to changes in temperature and humidity. Would it only be turpentine and oil that would prevent this?
@alison_crowther 3 күн бұрын
The oil does not prevent cracking but helps to minimise the cracking - slow down the speed at which the moisture ‘escapes’ from the timber and therefore cracks less violently.

it was a very enriching video, Bravo. can you tell me what the "turbs" is in the linseed oil recipe, I can't find a French translation. Nice continuation Alson.🌞🌞🌞
@brianpeers 5 күн бұрын
Turpentine or turps for short. A solvent commonly available at all hardware stores. Used for thinning enamel paint and general cleanup of grease, oil etc. What Alison means is that the addition of turps to boiled linseed oil allows it to penetrate the wood better than just applying the boiled linseed oil. I myself would use a mix ratio a bit more “watery “ say maybe 6 linseed to 1 turps with two coats or more of the mixture. Best for you Pierre to experiment with the mix ratio to find what works best for you.

I love your videos. Thank you for sharing. My mother’s maiden name is Crowther as well. My ancestors are from Scotland and England. Wondering if we could be related? Just a fun thought. I am an amateur carver in the United States. Loved coming across you and your work on KZbin! Thank you

Hello! My father's family ( Crowther's) were all from the county of Yorkshire in England. That's where I was born and raised. It is quite a common surname in Yorkshire, but you never know.... Happy carving :) and thank you for your kind words.

Good morning 🌅, Alison, excellent work, but I think if you make yourself a pair of A-frame hoist, which have electric winches on them, Using webbing straps pulling on one side it should lift and rotate a lot easier than what you’ve struggled with, I’ve seen a lot of things on KZbin where young people who do Logging use a similar method, over in Canada and USA , if you rap the straps around the item that you want to rotate, then when you’ve got it set up, you pull the ends that you have rap and it will unwind and rotate the item, Keep up the amazing work, Retire English dude living in France,

For the geometrical spheres, how are you able to orientate the rough timber so that you can maintain the geometry? Is there a sphere jig or is it all freehand? I love your work and have several stumps and a few beams I want to begin emulating.

Are the wood covers for moisture control? What you do is really interesting. Knowledge of material + right tool use + skill.
@alison_crowther 2 ай бұрын
The covers have several jobs - as you correctly suggest to reduce moisture loss ( I want the wood to remain as green as possible whilst carving it ), but also to protect from dust, bird/mouse poo and pee ( that was more the last studio space I had!), and also is a ritual that ends and starts the day nicely.

Can you tell me please what you use to cover your works overnight and what materials are used for this and the reason why this is done ? , Superb attention to detail as always - thanks
@alison_crowther 2 ай бұрын
I use two things for covering work. First a layer of horticultural fleece - this is finely woven so protects from dust and doesn’t snag on the wood as easily as blankets, then blankets on top of that. Just blankets at the earlier stages of working on pieces, then with the addition of the fleece as the final carving and finished surface is achieved. Both have the purpose of slowing down moisture loss and protecting from dust etc.
