Wadda ya mean "What's it for?"

[TTIT]

Just when I thought I could get away with making anything I wanted as long as I thought it looked good! Showed this piece to the eldest son and his girlfriend say's "What's it for?":eek::mad::mad::mad:. Back to the shed I head grumbling indignantly as I go. "What would she know about art or woodwork anyway!":(:( "Why should I care what she thinks!":(........ Now it's a (convertable) candlestick holder! :D

For those interested, the pot is Beefwood, the drips are Jacaranda. 180 x 110 . Finished with EEE followed by 2 coats of Shellawax cream. Topped with Ubeaut Traditional wax - for no other reason than the smell - Gawd I love it! First and last time I use Beefwood too - horrible to work with - too resinous which clogs the sandpaper super quick and gums the tools up. Gotta try everything at least once though!:)

Q: "What's it for?"
A: "It's an idiot puzzle."

A: "It already has."

Hi TTIT - very nice. I've heard so much about Beefwood, but this is the first time I've seen it! Looks fantastic! Shame it's such a pain to work~!

Great job, as usual!! And your bowls are more useful than a painting, yet they are a work of art as well.;)

Cheers,

Jill

[jmk89]

I'm still trying to work out how you use it to get stuff out from between your teeth:D :D :D Seems a funny kind of toothpick, TITT:D

TTIT nice piece of work, both of those timbers I had not seen in the flesh before, nice contrast.
Will come in handy when those brownouts turn into blackouts or is that only in South East Qld??????
Lovely work

Along time ago i bought a Beefwood coffee table at Anakie. Gemfest.
it was a heavy bugger. left it in qld when i came here.

[PuppyPaw]

get that damn candle stick holder out of there NOW!!!

It looks terrific just how it was. Its art, art isn't always going to tell you exactly what it is, the viewer gets to deside.

Besides I would be proud to display that in my home next to other fine peices of work!
