Rain pours down, never ending! Standing in the workshop I start to see my roof darken, as water seeps in and begins to drip down onto the floor, I frantically move the projects to safe areas when I look up and see the front window and door also have water soaking in!
But I was sure I sealed all gaps? I can't understand it.
The week draws on and just as much time is spent smearing various sealers all over the place, in a vain attempt to keep the place water tight, as has been, working to produce beautiful wooden creations!
Taking the garlic into the house, I apply three coats of varnish to finish the piece off.
A simple oval plaque is created using the bandsaw and router, but having to rely on borrowing a printer to transfer the words, causes me to stop progress as I wait for the weekend to gain access.
My eyes glide to the headboard. There's so little left to do.
I must complete it!
With the new edges fit, mallet in hand, I hammer in dowels to secure them then sand them randomly to give a worn and well used look.
Two coats of stain and they're done with!
All that's left to do is grab my toothbrush and a hairdryer!
My beauty regime can take a seat, these are for scrubbing in, and melting in, beeswax!
I've played around with this technique before but I've never had results like this!
From grey, dull and lifeless to a sexy, deep chocolate brown!
The headboard goes in storage in my dining room, much to my finances dismay, and I begin designing the next projects.
Two cupboard doors will have mirrored tulips carved from oak and glued to the front to create a pair of very unique pictures/wall art.
And this long scrap, I've already ripped some wood away to give a nice natural looking curve, will become a coat hook. Possibly with a mirror and some carving in the middle
