A sliding bevel made of brass and genuine bubinga wood (Guilbourtia spp).
A sliding bevel made of brass and genuine bubinga wood (Guilbourtia spp). This is the deluxe version, with entirely shop-made hardware (bolt, nut and blade). To see how I make those, head over to https://www.instructables.com/A-Sliding-Bevel-for-Woodworking-mostly/ .
For a simpler (and cheaper) version of this tool, please check https://www.etsy.com/listing/682773738 .
A sliding bevel is a gauge used to transfer angles from other physical objects to something you make. Since no actual measurement is involved, you skip an intermediate step that can be a source of inaccuracies and errors.
I chose to make this one from Bubinga for two reasons: First, Bubinga is a very hard, and thus durable wood. Second, it is gorgeous. The blade, bolt and nut are all made from brass. The blade is veneered on one side with teak veneer. Both sides of the bevel body have a decorative inlay strip.
The size of the wooden body is as follows:
- Large: Approximately 26X3.5X2.5 cm
- Medium: Approximately 18X2.5X1.8 cm
- Small: Approximately 13X2.2X1.5 cm
If you want, you can have your bevel personalised with a laser engraving (at extra cost - sorry) - The recipient's initials or full name or a short message. If interested, please have a look at https://www.etsy.com/listing/209382477 .
Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to ask anything!
NOTE: In 2016, Bubinga and all genuine rosewood species (Dalbergia spp) have been listed in appendix II of CITES. It is therefore now prohibited to ship them across international borders and I can only send objects made from these species inside the European Union.
