New Vessel Planished

1/12/2014

 
Over the past few posts, I have shown you a vessel (here and here) that I made. This is only the vessel in almost 2 years, if not more. Although, these have been sunk, not raised.  Part of the reason for this was the focusing on the Chasing & Repousse.  Now that I have committed my self to THE YEAR of Chasing & Repousse I figured I had to start somewhere. 

During this time, I have also had a new sinking bowl bowl made for me by John Wirth and I used it to finish up the shape despite that I had started to planish it;  but it was still a bit uneven so it has to be trued.  The sinking bowl worked like a dream and even though one wall is a bit higher than rest, that can be cleaned up with some filing and sanding. 

As a side note, over on FB, had a conversation about the difference between dapping vs sinking where someone said that since I not using dapping punches it was sinking. I do use a dapping punch as well as wooden mallets, as can be seen in the picture below…  Per Wikipedia, the terms are interchangeable.

Last night (Saturday)  I did the planishing. 

Today I will lay out the design and then next week I can start the lining. 

Here are the pictures, as usual.
