An update on progress for this week

The piece has been stained on the carved bits and some texturing applied to the body of the vessel. Finish was applied shortly after these series of pictures were taken.

Another view. The question was raised at our monthly turner's meeting as to how I was to finish the inside. I am still not too sure but if you have an idea let me know!

The view of the vessel that shows a smile. After applying the finish the white was transformed into a similar colour as the carved bits.

Showing some progress.....

It's the next meeting here in Pretoria on the 24th and I'm trying to get something completed. The sanding and finishing off seems to take an inordinate amount of time. I hope you are not bored!

  
Some different views of this piece.

If its not clear, I am recessing the backround so that the triangles are slightly raised. I really create work for myself!

My workshop and an update on work done.

Seeing as progress is slow and steady but not anywhere complete I thought I'd show you my workshop (4-5 m2)

Here's the view from the door of the workshop which is off the garage

My carving/sanding/detailing area

A view of the lathe area. Take note of all the unfinished projects on the shelf.

This is detailing I've done this week - still a bit to go though.
