Hello,
The Wise Owl Pencil Holder is a handy “back-to-school” project you can use year ‘round! The adorable owl design makes a charming storage container for pencils, markers and pens. You can easily complete this project with your CarveWright machine over a weekend. The project uses the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit.
The sample shown is finished with a stain -glazing technique, but you may opt for a colorful painted finish instead (it would be fun to let kids paint their own!).
The overall dimensions of the finished Owl Pencil Holder Project are approximately 5.5" W x 5.25" T x 3" D.
Main items you will need:
1) The Project Files (included):
• Owl_Pencil_Holder.mpc
2) Board with the following dimensions:
0.75" x 9" x 26"
Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig.
3) Sandpaper, clamps, wood glue, stain and/or paint and clear finish
4) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.
Apply your choice of finish. Here’s what I used:
• Two light coats of thinned Bulls Eye SealCoat (2 parts sealer/3 parts Denatured alcohol)
• Sanded between coats with very fine sandpaper
• Two coats full-strength Bulls Eye SealCoat
• Rust-Oleum Ultimate Stain - Golden Mahogany (applied as a glaze over the sealed wood)
NOTE: Learn about the stain-glazing technique from the following Tips & Tricks article: http://www.carvewright.com/assets/tips/CarveWrightTips_and_Tricks_Aug_Sept10.pdf
• Several coats Krylon clear Acrylic spray
