I found some mirror some time ago, it has sat in the garage and I worry I will break it someday, so time to frame it and hang it on the wall.
I wanted an elaborate frame and have wanted to do rose corners, I have long narrow strips of Zebrano veneer for the sides so had to have some on the rose corner.
These blocks are 115mm square with the outer part being Rimu, old weather boards with the paint removed and the nail holes cut around, the light wood is European Beach and on top of that is Jarrah, the Jarrah is from a beam that was removed from a building that was built in the 1840s, both Zebrano and European Beach are left overs from jobs I have done in the past.Between the corners will be moulded Rimu on either side of the Zebrano veneer.
Good to see the "before and after" photos, and to click on them to enlarge them. I like the way that the "globe" in each of the centres has the illusion of being fully round. There is something planet-like about them that is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteHope things are going well for you in the sub tropical North! We had thunder storms and heavy downpours here several afternoons in a row. Most unusual for our part of NZ. Everything is madly green with the extra rainfall and warmth. I am managing more hours in the studio each week now, and it is good to be producing more pots again.
Best Wishes, P
