Page 9 Bamboo Journal Tortoise shell — Tiger flaming A short description and photos to talk about the things I didn’t mention at the Gathering. °°° By Giovanni Nese There are more things that I didn’t say than those I did! Why I thought that not many people would have been interested and that those few who were, didn’t really need a detailed description to make a decent Tiger flaming. Afterwards and having given the matter some thought, also in consideration of the frenzy of information and requests that I received during the gathering, I realized that if someone had wanted to try out the method, he would have considered that it isn’t functional and would have abandoned the idea. So how did the Tiger flaming come about By chance! One day I had a blank based on a Garrison 212E taper in the oven and I turned on the hot air gun full blast. After cooling I realized I hadn’t achieved the result I was looking for. The heat treatment (tempering) didn’t happen. I try again with a second cycle. Same unsatisfactory result. “So what shall I do”, I asked the blanks but they didn’t answer! “So I’ll do an open flame heat treatment” – No! Everything will burn. To make the most out of this bad situation, I tried to see what happens to the wood when heated directly on the outlet of the hot air pistol. I quickly made a fish tail from a piece of pipe to get a wider jet of air and I start the heat treatment directly on the hot air pistol. The strips were just a few millimetres above the nozzle. The bamboo changed colour immediately and I liked the result. I darkened a section and went forward. I noticed that if I turn quickly, it takes longer to flame; if I slow down or slop a dark burnt patch is created. Later on while planing I notice that in the areas where I had turned quickly, the heat had penetrated deeply into the strip and tempering also took place. On the contrary you only burn the surface and temper only the outer layers. The results are very good to look at Italian Bamboo Rodmakers Association
