NB Table cont’d – Victorian Blackwood
So maybe you don’t go so far as to slide down a steep road on a tabletop or to create small campfires on a tabletop.

A sturdy platform to linger a while. See more HERE Share → Tweet

Wood Block Printing – Practice Transfers
I have been experimenting with the transferal of ink from a standard photocopy or laser jet print, using a solvent and printing press. Currently working on a furniture commission, of which I hope to use this process to apply images, creates interest within its internal compartments. In addition to these creative / conceptual applications, I will be trialing this method as means to mark my finished pieces with my brand and the date of completion. It is hoped that it will become a part of my regular practice; to ensure... Read The Rest →
