I have not posted on this forum for a while. I have been in process of setting up my new shop. I though i would post a few of my latest projects.
My Ribbon:
This was my first attempt at creating a ribbon. Overall, I am happy about the results. Since this was my first attempt, I choose to keep the pattern simple (no lamination) and I used inexpensive wood. I did not spend a tremendous amount of time fine sanding this piece as I was only constructing it for the learning experience. Throughout the process I did learn quite a few tips on how to make the next one better.
Made of Poplar and Walnut. Measures approximately 10" tall X 8" Diameter. Finished with three coats of poly.
My Vase:
Made of (left to right) Peruvian Walnut, Peruvian Cherry, Brazilian Vermelha, and African Padauk.
Measures: 7" tall X 7" diameter. Finished with 4 coats of Poly.
Contains 161 separate pieces.
This was my first commissioned piece. The process of finalizing colors and shape with the client took approximately four hours.
The overall time involved in this piece is approximately 40 hours.
