Blender<\/a>, a free open source 3D design application. The above image is a rendering of some of the ideas I’ve been playing around with. I wanted a basic bowl shape to emphasize the drips. The rendering is cherry wood with maple drips. <\/p>\n\n\n\nI toyed with different concepts on how to create the drips. The above image is the result of me manipulating a mesh to manually create the shape. However, I thought it would be really fascinating to run a physics water simulation to “pour” the drips over the bowl and have them organically take shape. I played with this for a while with Blender but i was never really satisfied with the results. I think it could generate something really cool: unique computer simulated drips, which could be varied on a piece-by-piece basis by changing the random input seed. This means I could make multiple copies of the bowl, but each bowl would be 100% unique. It would also require a lot more time, as each bowl would have a unique CNC code path generation for the cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This shape would be difficult to CNC. There are lots of valleys that are hard to get to with a standard 3 axis machine. I would also have to separate the different wood pieces to get the desired contrast, and I’m not quite sure if it would work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually I hope to try to make something like this. Currently I’m still working on my new workshop, so this will have to come to life sometime later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
For quite a while I’ve had the idea of making a wood bowl that has wood drips off the top and over the edges. This idea is just an extension of the epoxy “drip” bowls… [read more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-woodworking"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/drip-bowl-render.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7245"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7247,"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245\/revisions\/7247"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
