Wood Shells – A New Art Form
This item is an ebook written by Steve Garrison who has developed a method for making wooden shells that resemble shells found in nature. They are made using segmented construction rather than being carved from a solid block of wood. Each segment is cut using either a scrollsaw or bandsaw, and the shell form grows from the inside out much like an actual seashell would grow. A shell can be designed to spiral out either fast or slow – or anywhere between depending on the spiral angle chosen as the model. Only basic math skills are needed despite looking complicated. Steve considers this to be a new kind of art and has sold many shells through art galleries. He continues to discover new ways to improve the technique to allow more control over the shape of a shell to get closer to an imaginary shell he has in mind. Some of his shells are shown here as examples of what this technique is capable of. All of the methods used to produce these are covered in the ebook. There is much more yet to be discovered, and this book contains years of experience.
