This here is a traditional oak coffee table.A friend had it in his garage loft for some years after it had been left out in the elements. The finish had long since deteriorated along with the color. The unfortunate thing, I was told it was one of the last remaining item of his mothers sibling who passed away some years ago. I was asked to refurbish it to as close the original color as possible. This was a surprise gift for her winter holiday season of 2009. I hope in some way, wonderful warmth and happiness is brought to them both. Thanks to G, for the project!
This is more of a challenge. A leather seat that needs some serious help. The feet have rusted as well as the spindle for the seat to swivel on. I found two of these after sitting in a garage for several years. The dust has imbedded itself with the leather.
BELLY BLESSING!!!!Now I know this isn't my project, (only the bun in the oven is) but it is a wonderful service available by Sandy at Dreaming in Henna..The design work was created with the belly in mind so to speak, and modeled after another artists' interpretation. Henna is a temporary dye or staining of the skin lasting 2-3 weeks depending on the area. It is completely safe, and natural. So no harm comes to anyone wanting a little artwork to show off for a bit. For more information visit my links.
In this existing project I have the opportunity to come back to a project I had previously done. Here is now what will be considered the before picture. I will be replacing the existing cherry hardwood top with something a little more substantial...Just a quick shot of a traditional/contemporary design mantel design by TRN as a refinished install for a recently previous client. This client chose an American Cherry wood to match the my initially installed entertainment cabinet seen in my Past projects.
Based on the writings in Psalm 89-90, this custom piece was to carry the ashes of loves lost. A collaboration between The Raven's Nest™ and Dog Star Metals™. The box is made from Ipe, and maple bridle joints and is held by two solid bronze hands. More information will be posted on this item at a later time.
