Ramblings of a geek with a few hobbies…

Lathe Cat

This was another fun lathe project. The body and head are turned separately, and the head attaches via a tenon on the body. This was made with some Honey Locust pieces I’ve had sitting on my shelf waiting for a purpose. It stands around 10″ tall.

The ears are a turned cone which is then cut in half with a hand saw (or jigsaw). Each half is then carved with a rotary tool/Dremel.

For the whiskers, I split small slices of leather. They were drooping so I dripped thin CA glue onto the leather to stiffen them up.
