I've been working through a backlog of projects trying to catch up to some I wanted to do almost a year ago. This week, I'm literally working through a pile of furniture that's been blocking access to my workbench. It's a 10 year old office set of two desks and a shelf. I'm refinishing the old "poopy brown" look to resemble a Japanese "Shou Sugi Ban" finish (google it!). I'm also painting the legs and hardware to look like cast gold.
Hopefully, I'll be done in a couple more weeks, and I can get back to sculpting and other projects soon.Below are some pics of the furniture. The last one is what a real Shou Sugi Ban finish can look like. It's basically charred wood, but the heat treat tempers the wood and makes it weather and rot resistant. I'm just painting g mine, of course.
