Two Faced

Postby Dalboy » 28 Aug 2019, 19:43

I had a thin piece of Oak which sat in the wood store for ages you know the type "I will do something with that one day".
Anyway, I named this two-faced as the disc can be turned around. The centres one green and one red are from a very small burr that I cut into 1/2" thick pieces for use in turned boxes(which I still have not turned), all the texture is done with a Robert Sorby spiralling and texturing tool. Colouring is spirit stain and then either a light sanding to reveal the high spots, a coloured wax that I made myself or dry brushed over the stain. Then finished with an acrylic sander sealer followed by a satin acrylic lacquer
The base is a plum coloured slate again finished with the acrylic as above the two supporting rods are from some metal that I collect which again may come in handy one day, I think this is stainless steel.
Measurements are as follows Total height is 15 1/2" width 13". and depth 4" the decorative disc is 13" diameter
The second picture with the disc reversed

C & C welcome

Nice mate. Green side is particularly striking, love the centre, as Dave says it looks like some kind of Green Lantern space scene.

Thank you guys, the wife is not keen on green colour but this she says that the green side is her favourite after 35 years I am turning her to my way of thinking or am I just delusional :lol: :lol: :lol:

Probably my favourite of your coloured pieces.
I do not think therefore I do not am.
