DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

Thanks to his broad training and experience, Lorenzo Mur carries out his activity within the fields of stone works, forge and woodwork, including traditional wood turnery and structural carpentry. These techniques can be used both for decorative elements and constructive ones for newly-built works or restorations. 

Regarding wood, he works with many different types of wood, such as pine, beech and American oak, among others, using both traditional tools and other more modern ones. He uses gouges, chisels, sanding tools and scrapers, among others. In the process of designing and modelling he works with templates which have been carried out beforehand, even carrying out a clay model as well on occasions. With regard to wood turnery, the pieces are worked on progressively: one first roughing of the piece on four sides, and then a second roughing on eight sides, to finish working at the right speed. 

Regarding stonework, he also works with different types of stone (limestone, sandstone, alabaster, marble, etc.), considering their different characteristics and aptitudes to manufacture constructive elements such as ashlars, gargoyles, pilasters, mouldings, etc. In the process, he combines traditional tools with compressed air hammers to speed-up the initial roughing process.

With regard to forge, he considers it relevant to make good use of the material by being precise in the previous design. Apart from working with bars of iron, he can reuse iron elements and give them a new shape. He carries out unions using rivets or by traditional welding.
