A few folk have asked to see some of my work, so brace yourselves, here you are, a few snaps I had in stock. Most of what I do is riven ash or oak legs and spindles and recycled joists to do seats, favourite tools definately sharp axe and scrapers. I have some recycled ikea wood worktops that should be fun to see what I come up with
First is a little stool I made for my boy. It was entirely made from little off cuts and bits and pieces from other jobs. It has a welsh/chinease sort of influence to it. I experimented with a green finish but didnt like it, I might ry something else
Next one is my version of the welsh chair that alf was keen to see, not 100% happy with the form, on the next one I do with a 3 part arm the spindles will not flare out so much (might even flare "in" instead).
Next up is my interpretation of a traditional irish gibson chair, they are extreamley hard to do convincingly the form is deceptively simple, but I will persevere, they have great character.
Finally a work in progress of a childs irish influenced fire side chair, again made of various recycled bits, joists etc. This one is since finished, I trett it with dark wax, didnt like it, will experiment and when happy will post again
Hope they are of interest, I welcome any comment or sudgestions for imrovemnts. Cheers Jonathan
PS I like the screen print quality of the pics (processed on photoshop elements) it reminds me of old railway posters :roll:
