Physical Object An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance. Note that digital representations of, or surrogates for, these objects should use Moving Image, Still Image, Text or one of the other types. Material Wood from fruit trees Natural Cultural Cultural Function The object is an artistic piece, for decorative purposes. It has no practical use, but pieces of this type can be used as a finial or decoration for furniture, clocks, etc. Creation Purpose The craftsman produces these objects to improve his technique, and as a piece of art. He keeps the production for his collection, gives it as a gift or sells it. Technique The object was made on a continuous electric lathe. Once the piece of wood has been selected, it is roughed by hand and with the electric planer to obtain the square base. The piece is placed on the lathe and held with the fingers while the lathe is turning, and the narrow, elongated part is roughed out with the gouge. The idea is to try to make as fine a shaft as possible. Material Source The woods used in the making of these pieces come from prunings, fellings, and cleanings of fruit tree plantations near the workshop. Conecept The object is made using the woodturning technique, which has historically been of some importance in northern Spain. However, it is not a traditional piece from the area, but is the result of the practice and knowledge of international woodturning. Production Quality The production scale is limited, as the artisan crafts these types of pieces during their free time External ID UNIOVI_AR_03 Field Worker Santiago Rodríguez Pérez Craft woodwork Tool Electric wood turning lathe, skew chisels, parting tools and spindle gouges.
