stain

First time that I have used this fascinating pink timber. No stain honest.

Loosely based on a demo I saw by Phil Irons in 2019 at the Chestnut Woodturning Weekender. Walnut, 4" x 2" coloured with Blue and Red Spirit stain and Copper gilt cream. Bare wood finished in Lemon Oil.

Again not very arty or difficult like many I have seen but the Pyrography machine did get used and took some time to do all of the dots, the Japanese writing was a quick job and took a fraction of the time I was going for a totally black finish but with the burnt dots giving the pot texture...

I have been making a mess in the shed, I was asked to make these in various sizes for some one that is repairing their grandmothers dining room chairs (1920's), the originals are Tassie blackwood, the one's I made are good old pinus radiata, they are going to stain them to match. I must have...

Spalted Maple like all spalted timber varies ,reveals differently every time. Normal Maple needs a light stain IMHO. Peter.

This is progress so far on the latest shelf wizard. Again it's in boxwood which seems to hold detail very well but is a little harder to carve than lime. I've tried a little pipe on this one which I think I might stain a different colour. We are off on a cruise for a week tomorrow so Ill get it...

Today started well untill I walk into the house and the wife nearly had a fit she looked up at me to see what appeared to be blood spray all over my hand and face, she quickly said "do you want a plaster" I said "No", if it was blood it would bloody need more than a plaster I think to myself...

Finished the shingles and roof hips. Just a coat of stain and the electrics to do.
