Project Information

I had order to make some 60 pieces of wooden ''stone'' discs for paint art :

70mm - 20 pcs
50mm - 20 pcs
30mm - 20 pcs

12-16mm thick

I made them of firwood - I cut board in rough oversized circles on bandsaw, glued them 6-7 in a row, than turned them on lathe. Final shape of center cut off I made on disc sander. No finish, ofcourse.

Last photo - example of painted disc.

They look good Ivan! You got them all made but it's a mystery to me how you did it.

I'm making something similar now: several dozens of 3/4" diameter face-grain discs, all 1/8" thick. I cut 3/4" × 3/4" × 2" sticks, then glued them to get one long stick which will be routed to get a dowel which has face grain in crosscut. I am going to slice the discs off the dowel and then drill a long, 1/32"-thick channel from side to side along the diameter as these discs are intended for necklaces. Not sure though how to shape such small pieces. I might cut a round well with a 3/4" Forstner bit so that the disc stays put but a bit proud for easier sanding.
