Someone pointed out how my lathe lights look like bugeyes on stalks, so I’m running with it. Especially with this bowl that has a goofy smile with its tongue sticking out. 😋Or maybe it’s this guy? —>>🥴 These are two royal poinciana bowls I prepared for finish today.
I think I’ve found my go-to food-safe finish. This black olive bowl is DRY 5 mins after applying the first coat. And the shine already present?!? I’ll add several coats to build it up. It’s a French polish technique using thinned shellac and walnut oil. Painfully simple and clearly effective. 🤩 Course, I need to get better at it but I’m liking it so far.
Good morning from the happiest place on Earth. Full day in the shop on tap. 🥰
Two new bowls in the finishing stages. I’m trying a new technique, approaching a French polish, blending shellac with an oil like olive or walnut. I’m trying the latter. This is just two coats on both. ✨🤙
Happy Father’s Day ❤️ My dad was many things, among them a hit radio DJ, an incredible salesman, a farmer, builder, artist and frustrated architect. And complicated, as are we all. Lastly, a cancer victim. My siblings and I lost him too soon, but he continues to inspire us daily. Here he is tickling me like I tickled my own son at that age. One of his many paintings shows a profound Mondrian influence, themes that repeat in his mid-mod furniture designs and wood sculptures. Last, that painting bears a unique signature of a simple bar-S that I use as my profile image. This painting apparently took a while and when family said he needed to finish and sign it already, he signed it thusly and declared it finished with “Smithcrastination.” I missed growing up with him, but hearing the stories and knowing myself, I’m comforted that like Neil Young sings, “I’m a lot like you were.” We love and miss you, dad. 💜🖤❤️
Awesome inspiration tonight ... bienvenidos á Myamí!
