Project Information
This Mobius Ribbon is based on the 8 pointed star, cut on the scroll saw using the bowl from a board method and
consists of 2 half bowls and 10 quarter bowls, hand sanded and stained with a mixture of Mahogany and mentholated spirits and finished with a couple of coats of polyurethane. I used 1/2" plywood and cut the bowl sections at 45 degrees, there are 3 layers and each layer needed 28 tight cuts at the points and after numerous attempts, a lot of blades, a pile of reject sections I eventually got there with minimum burning on the points. Took days for the gluing the sections together and with luck and some bending the final fit was OK. Never again, although I have another one cut at a different angle that has yet to be sanded. This is one of my entries in show held in Melbourne early next month. My other entries are 2 multi wood shells on a stand and a Mobius Ribbon with horses carved in it.
