Material Beech wood, natural pigments, cotton thread Natural Cultural Cultural Function The object is a children's toy and a piece of art Creation Purpose The craftsman creates these objects as a hobby. He keeps them if he likes the result, gives them as gifts, or sells them Technique The object was made on a continuous electric lathe. Once the piece of wood is selected, rough shaping is done using an electric planer or an adze to create a preform. The piece is then turned on the lathe using gouges to rough out and shape it to the desired profile. Holes for the handle mechanism and the spinning top are drilled with the help of drills. Material Source The wood used in the production of these objects comes from dry wood recovered from forests around the workshop Conecept The object is crafted using the woodturning technique, a craft with a long history in northern Spain. The shapes are reminiscent of the bowls and containers made by Asturian turners for domestic use (consumption and preservation of food). However, this piece is an original creation by the artisan Production Quality The production scale is limited because the artisan crafts these pieces during their free time External ID UNIOVI_AR_04 Field Worker Santiago Rodríguez Pérez Craft woodwork Tool Electric wood turning lathe, gouges and texturing tools Place The town or city La Castañal, Bimenes, Asturias, Spain Prim Media 1134 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
