Finished Sack Back Windsor

This is the Sack Back Windsor chair I made during my week long class at the Windsor Institute in late July. You can read about my experience in a previous blog posting. I chose the traditional milk paint finish and the color is a deep Windsor Green. Once the paint was dry, I finished it with danish oil to give it a nice sheen.

Back to Lathe De volta ao Torno

Para fazer uma pausa num projecto grande que tenho em marcha fiz esta caneta, modelo Wall Street II, em madeira de Azinho. Há já algum tempo que não trabalhava com o torno de madeira, uma ferramenta formidável que tenho pena de não ter mais tempo para usar... Outras prioridades...

Taking a break from the "big" project Im currently working on I made this pen, Wall Street II model, in Holm-oak wood. Its been a while since I did some wood turning in my lathe, which is a great tool that I regret not having more time to use... Other priorities.... 

My first acrylic Pen - A minha primeira Caneta em acrilico

Ontem fiz uma caneta em madeira de azinho, essa caneta serviu de empurrão para realizar uma caneta em acrílico pela primeira vez. Tinha lido sobre a técnica e resolvi tentar!
Podem ver o resultado nas fotos. Para uma primeira caneta em acrílico, penso que correu muito bem!

Yesterday I made a pen of Holm-oak, this pen pushed me to make an acrylic pen for the first time. I had read about this technique and decided to give it a try!
You can see the end result in the pictures. For a first try, I think it is pretty awesome!
