Pot & Vase

I made the little pot as a sort of "proof of concept" using the Jo Sonja range of acrylic paints, these are the irridescent ones, I was inspired to try these by Dalboy (Derek) from the UK Workshop forum who used them to exceptional effect on a bowl.
The vase which is made from oak was used as a demo piece to show dissimilar colouring and shellac application techniques for the south west wales woodturners club in October.

Long time no post.

It's been an age since I posted anything, laziness I guess. Well with the upcoming woodcraft festival at the NBG Wales on the 20th and 21st of August I have been putting together a few new items. Here is a selection.

Woodwork Weekend at the NBG Wales

Another very enjoyable weekend working with Terry Smart of Chestnut products demonstrating colour and finishing techniques, I met lot's of very nice people, many of whom were very taken with the items I had brought along to the show (although no one actually took one home!) But many took cards and I hope if you are one and are reading this, that you had an enjoyable time viewing my work. Many of those items either already are or soon will be available for online purchase at my Etsy shop.  (link:  https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Shopswood)

Here are some images of  the items yet to be added and a shot of the set up we used.
