So my next shipment of ceramic coasters is starting the slow crawl of arriving to my office (I'm getting partials orders, as they are ready). So, while that is happening I started another random side project...
Cowhides are pretty much everywhere right now, used both tastefully and not. HGTV uses them as accent "rugs" on most staged modern rooms and houses, but you can also see horrific examples of kitsch gone horribly wrong online. I had eight of these beautiful knotted, rippled wood squares ready for random projects, so I'm varnishing them and affixing some cowhide samples to the backsides (or front? depends what you like) to see what happens.
Wait--do I recognize those squares of wood?
ReplyDeleteAlso: when we come to visit you in Boston on Friday, can we go to the woodshop where you bought me that piece of padauk? And by the way, you can see the final result of how I used it at http://www.timbrookesinc.com/?p=1356.
