FURNITURE

My blog is of my creations, My furniture, using wood I have collected from here and there, occasionally buying some to make up the difference.
My design is often based around what I have available.

Just for the Record

 I was asked to make a yarn bowl again, this one was a great success
so I set about making one with some embellishment to take to the market, the wood is totara but being a young tree it is pale so the embellishment has helped lift it to another level.

The colour I used is some tints I have for use in fiberglass gelcoat for this reason I have used a rattle tin to put a clear coat on it.

The texturing is done with a micro motor carver, I also used pyrogrophy for some of the patterns.






Spinning out of control to a finish

 And this is what happened in the end, I finished it with a gloss rattle can so it is all shinny which does not come through in the photo.

There was an exhibition happening as I finished it so it went up on the wall there.
