—David Ellsworth

Chapter Six In Process: Turning a Bowl
Turning the Inside
for a Shallow BowlShallow bowls are cut in the same way as
deeper bowls. With the homemade curved
tool rest close to the surface of the wood,
a series of shearing cuts is made with the
one-half inch gouge (A–D). The consistency
of the thickness of the bowl wall is tested
along the way (B).
Turning a PedestalBowls with pedestals are often held onto a
faceplate with scrap wood and the support of
the tailstock with a ball-bearing center. Here
Bob cuts the pedestal away from the waste
block with a parting tool (A).

Port Royal
Edward Stiles already owned homes in Philadelphia and his native Bahamas
when he bought land six miles outside the city for a country estate befitting
his stature as an affluent gentleman merchant.
Named after Mr. Stile’s birthplace, Port Royal bears striking similarities
to Mount Pleasant, a famous home built a few years earlier. Both houses are
near-textbook examples of English Palladianism. The master builder at Port
Royal, Gunning Bedford, was good friends with Mount Pleasant’s builder,
a man known as Nevel. How closely Nevel and Bedford collaborated on
Port Royal is not clear, though Nevel “charged Bedford for Measuring Edward
Stiles home in Frankford,” according to Nevel’s daybook. In those days, having
construction “measured” by a fellow master builder was one method of
calculating building charges.
The five Port Royal rooms at Winterthur are the entrance hall, parlor,
upstairs library cross hall, and two bedrooms. The downstairs public spaces,
the parlor, and entrance hall, exhibit the greatest detail.
The Port Royal rooms are some of the tallest at Winterthur; the
downstairs rooms measure over 12’ tall and the upstairs rooms are over 11’
in height. The scale of the moldings is in proportion; they are some of the
largest moldings in the Winterthur collection. This is appropriate because
Georgian moldings are bold and often large, especially when compared to
later Federal moldings.

StorageStorage Cases Cases
As a fi nal part in this book of doll furniture, I have included several
items that are not necessarily furniture. However, these items can
be made with all of the woodworking tools and techniques used in the
previous chapters. They are storage cases, and they will help to keep
any collector’s—young and old alike—collection of dolls organized and
securely stored when not on display or in use.
Here in this chapter you will fi nd four storage cases designed especially
for 18" dolls: the Hope Chest, Southwestern Trunk, Traveling Case, and
Classic Trunk.
The box-making methods learned in the previous chapters will help
you construct all of these projects. The Traveling Case requires the
application of a heavy weight wall covering. The manufacturer’s
directions should be followed when gluing the paper onto the traveling
case. A fabric material could be substituted for the wall covering if
excessive handling is likely to occur.

Carving Gargoyles, Grotesques, and Other Creatures of MythHistory, Lore, and 12 Artistic PatternsBy Shawn Cipa
$19.95 Soft Cover
ISBN 978-1-56523-329-4
For centuries, gargoyles have endured as architectural necessities

warding off evil from cathedrals and churches. Today, these mysterious
icons are a popular carving subject for anyone looking to
add unique ornamentation to their homes. With this step-by-
step tutorial from Shawn Cipa, any carver can craft a Traditional
Water-Spouting Gargoyle and a Classic Grotesque, and then
move on to 10 more original patterns – including the
Crouching Imp and the Screaming Keystone Grotesque.
“ This is a must-have book for all gargoyle aficionados, not just for wood carvers.“
– Walter S. Arnold, Sculptor/Stone Carver

Teach Yourself to Carve Wood Spirit Study StickStep-by-Step Instructional GuideBy Jan Oegema
$29.95
ISBN 978-1-56523-396-6
It’s easy to learn how to carve with this conveniently packaged
all-in-one kit that includes a study stick guide, a blank to
practice on, and an instructional booklet for carving a wood
spirit’s eyes, nose, mouth and ears. This is a great gift!
ch Yourself to Carveod Spirit Study Stickb S l G d
Define the bottom of the top eyelid. Sketch in the top eyelid. Start at the first line on the left side of the rounded corner and sketch an arc up for five sections and then arc back down for three. Your line will end on the last line to the right of the rounded section. Using a carving knife, make a stop cut about 1⁄16" deep along the line you sketched. Then start about ¾ " down from the line and taper up to the line.
Shape the upper eyelid. Hold your knife with the handle at 7 o’clock (12 o’clock is the top of the stick). Press the knife tip into the wood just above the right side of the previous cut. Cut about ¼ " into the wood at a 20° angle. Follow the line with the knife, creating a hanging chip. Press the center of the knife into the center of the rounded corner at approximately a 60°angle and rock the knife to either side to free the chip.

A carved eye can make or break a carving. That’s why I suggest that beginners carve their own study sticks. Not only are the sticks good practice, but they also give you a tangible record of the carving process. Start by rounding the corner of a 1¼ " x 1¼ " x 12" stick and sketching in guidelines. With the rounded corner as your center point, divide two sides of the stick into five equal sections by drawing four lines on each side. Each line should be about ¼ " apart. We will be carving the left eye.

Shape the bottom eyelid. Sketch in the pouch under the eye (mirroring the line of the bottom eyelid from step 3). Turn your stick upside down and repeat the process from Step 2 to create a hanging chip and then cut the chip free. This forms the bottom eyelid and pouch under the eye.
Carve the pupil. Press a 3mm (1⁄8") #11 gouge about 1⁄8" into the wood where you want the pupil. The open end of the gouge should be at the top eyelid. This acts as a stop cut when you taper down the rest of the eyeball. Taper up to the pupil from 1⁄8" away from the stop cut.
Define the eyeball and bottom eyelid. Start at the left corner of the eye and draw a line that arcs three sections down and five sections up. Shape the eyeball area by making a stop cut along this line and tapering down to the line using the same techniques used in Step 1.

Carve a ClassicWOODSPIRITNow that you have mastered the nose, eye, mouth, and ear, it is time to put them all together to carve a woodspirit. Start with the same 1¼ " x 1¼ " x 12" blank with one corner rounded over. Divide the two sides that come together at the corner into three equal sections.
Define the bridge of the nose. Cut in at a 45º angle ½ " below the center of the forehead taper to define the browline. Make the cut about ¼ " deep. Move down about ½ " from the bottom of this cut and taper up to the browline cut.
Define the hairline and the forehead. Press the center of the knife into the rounded corner about 3⁄16". Roll the knife to both sides so this stop cut is deepest at the rounded corner and gets more shallow as it approaches the other corners. Move down about ½ " along the rounded corner and taper up to the stop cut to shape the forehead.

Add the eye trench. Use a #6 ¼ " gouge to shave away the areas beside the bridge of the nose and under the browline where the eyes will be located.
Add the smile lines. Sketch in a lazy S shape for the smile lines starting at the tip of the wings of the nose and down to where the corners of the mouth will be. Make a V-shaped cut along these lines with a carving knife, starting deep and getting more shallow as you move towards the end of the line.
Stop cut around the nose. Use a #6 ¼ " gouge to make a stop cut around the nose, as explained on the previous page. Make these stop cuts about ¼ " deep. Below the tip of the nose, start about ¼ " away and taper to the bottom of the stop cut. This forms the top of the lip.
Define the edge of the face. Sketch a line up around the face to define the bottom of the cheekbones. Make a V-cut along the line on each side of the face. Extend the lines up to the hairline, making the cut more shallow as you approach the hairline.

The Western Zodiac – Advanced Pattern Aries

Satinwood, 51/2" (140mm) high.
March 21–April 19
More than 2,000 years ago, the vernal
equinox commonly occurred in Aries, so
that is why it is the first sign of the zodiac.
Hamal is the bright star in Aries’ horn.
In mythology, the goddess Nephele sent
a ram with Golden Fleece to save her
children from being sacrificed. The ram
carried the son to safety—the daughter
fell off over the sea. When he arrived,
the son sacrificed the ram and gave the
Golden Fleece to King Aeetes. Jupiter
placed the ram in the sky. Later, Jason and
the Argonauts stole the fleece.
Aries are usually courageous, adventurous,
and quick thinkers, though they can also
be selfish, impatient, and impulsive.

OrionConstellations – Intermediate Pattern

Orion is my favorite constellation. As a
small child, I could lay in bed with my head
on the windowsill. I watched Orion in
spring as it rose over the hill. The shoulder
and knee stars are bright and the belt can
often be seen on a clear night. Betelgeuse,
Bellatrix, and Rigel are three stars in this
constellation you might have heard of. The
Orion Nebula, M42, can be seen around
Orion’s sword. Orion was often imagined
as holding a shield in his left hand. As far as
I know no one ever put a dragon on it, but
after all, this is my design!
Orion was a great hunter who had the
reputation of being so tall he could walk
through the deepest water without getting
his head wet. There are many versions of
Orion’s story, most having to do with his
boastfulness. In one story, the gods send
a scorpion—Scorpio—to kill Orion. Now
they circle the skies, chasing each other.
It is also said that Orion is fighting Taurus
the bull, which is adjacent to him.
The ancient Egyptians saw the stars that
make up Orion as Osiris, the Egyptian
God of Light. Osiris was seen as starting
his journey up the Nile to the River of
Heaven. Their imaginations incorporated
stars below the constellation into the boat
in which he was standing.

Little Moe is probably the most basic design for a
mousetrap racer, despite retaining significant versatility.
It is designed for distance and speed.
The construction is simple: one end of a string is
tied to the tip of a lever arm that is attached to the
mousetrap’s lever arm. The other end of the string has a
loop designed to catch a hook attached to the drive axle.
Place the loop over the axle hook and wind the string
around the drive axle by turning the wheels in the
opposite direction to the racer’s intended motion.
As the string winds around the axle, the lever arm is
pulled closer to the drive axle, causing the mousetrap’s
spring to wind up and store energy. Release the drive
wheels and the lever arm pulls the string off the drive
axle, causing the wheels to rotate.
After you’ve followed the steps on pages 54 to 63, you will have
completed your first Mousetrap Racer—the incredible Little Moe!After you’ve followed the steps on pages 54 to 63, you will have
