Clean the back of the bark off.

Use a 1" (25mm) #5 gouge.

Draw a line about 1" (38mm) from the bottom to separate the

lighthouse from the base. Carve along the line with a 5/8" (16mm)

V-tool. Then, use the 1" (25mm) #5 gouge, a V-tool, and a bench

knife to thin the lighthouse section. I use a backhand grip with the

gouge, which allows me to remove wood quickly and safely.

1

Round the lighthouse.

Use the 1" (25mm) #5 gouge, V-tool,

and bench knife. As you carve, use a pair of calipers to check the

roundness of the tower. Look straight down from the top; you will

be able to see areas that are out of round. Reduce the lantern room

at the top to about 1" (38mm) diameter, and taper the rest of the

tower to match.

2

Mark the bottom of

the lantern room.

Refer to

the pattern. Carve along the

line with a 1/8" (3mm) V-tool.

Use the knife to taper the top

of the tower to the V-groove.

Repeat the process until the

bottom of the lantern room

protrudes " (6mm). Round

and taper the tower to match

the diameter of the area just

below the lantern house.

4

Shape the roof of the lantern room

(the cupola).

Use the bench knife. I rounded

my cupola and added the small nub that acts

like a vent on the top.

3

Cut off the lantern house.

Use a

coping saw. Rotate the blank as you cut to

keep the cut straight. Draw a line " (6mm)

down from the top of the tower. Carve along

the line with the 1/8" (3mm) V-tool.

5

Make a stop cut around the tower.

Use the bench knife to deepen the V-tool

cut made in Step 5. Relieve down to the stop cut to create a tenon. Repeat the stop and

relief cuts until the diameter of the tenon is about " (6mm) thinner than the rest of

the tower. Drill a 15/32" (

12mm)-diameter by 1" (25mm)-deep hole in the center of the

tower for the LED party light. Dry-fit the light into the hole, and adjust the shape of the

lighthouse to center the light on the tower.
