Hand Carved & Turned Wooden Toy Alphabet Puzzle

The craft of wood turning is hundreds of years old. A skilled artisan fixes a rough-hewn circular block of wrightia tinctoria wood at the head of the traditional lathe machine and hammers it in place by hand. The machine begins whirring as the artisan introduces a hand-held chisel to the block, and applies varying degrees of pressure to sculpt a desired shape and to smoothen the edges. Then carefully holding a lacquer stick, the surface is coated with practised circular strokes. The heat ensuing from the lathe in motion gently melts the lacquer stick, dyeing the wood. This process is repeated multiple times to move from one color to another and the result is a transformed, vibrant medley of colors. A rough piece of canvas cloth is then used for a final polish.
