Some of these projects were built with written plans, while others were designed on the fly, using photograph and video sources as reference, for measurements and relative dimensions. I enjoy working with fir and pine for the way they respond to charring and some of my shop-made, wood coloring techniques.
Finishes and colorants I have used include: surface charring, shop made iron acetate, coffee & black tea, Minwax stain, TransTint dyes, India ink, Odie's Oil, Rubio Monocoat, Total Boat Wood Honey, shop made garnet shellac, lacquer and water based polycrylic.
