Frej LonnforsSometimes it's very nice to carve a circle that is not a correct circle. <br> The sligthly squashed clementine is the <br> ideal shape in my opinion.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chipcarving?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chipcarving</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/slöjd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slöjd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/folkart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#folkart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/distaff?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#distaff</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/textiletools?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#textiletools</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spinningtools?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinningtools</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sloyd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sloyd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knifefinished?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knifefinished</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/axeandknife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#axeandknife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tälja?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tälja</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handcrafted?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handcrafted</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hantverk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hantverk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/designermaker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#designermaker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/makersmovement?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makersmovement</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/karvsnitt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#karvsnitt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chipcarving?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chipcarving</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/woodarts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodarts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/traditionalcrafts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#traditionalcrafts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/madebyhand?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#madebyhand</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/maker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/artsandcraft?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artsandcraft</a>
Frej LonnforsA distaff I've made for an upcoming exhibition. The pattern is built up of circles and sections of circles and I more or less started at the bottom filling the space and figured out the next segment as I went. Very nice to work with a pair of compasses and just trust it completely. The circle is law and you just need to adapt and find ways to make it fit in the given area.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/distaff?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#distaff</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spinningtool?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinningtool</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/textiletool?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#textiletool</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/slöjd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slöjd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sloyd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sloyd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hantverk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hantverk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handcrafted?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handcrafted</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/woodcraft?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodcraft</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chipcarving?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chipcarving</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/karvsnitt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#karvsnitt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/heritagecraft?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heritagecraft</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/konsthantverk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#konsthantverk</a>
