So close but yet so far.

 

Ok this thing is done..... really....... or so I think it is. 

First a large scratch appears in the finish, how that happened I do not know (well I do but I will not point fingers) Ok, so I have to re do the top. 

So I rub out the scratch a bit too much I now see bare wood, really light orange wood . 

Now I have to re-lacquer the top.

Today I spray the dovetail keys with clear and the finish hazes over..guess what I am doing tomorrow. Refinishing the top again 

THIS IS NOT FUN ANYMORE.

New leg ideas for the Blue Stump

before paint the legs will be held off the base of the stump with 1/2 inch aluminum plate

painted the orange is very much fake carrot orange I am thinking a white leg with a orange leg with a single white leg across from the axe pair.

There are walnut dovetail keys in the top of the stump.

I really do not like the date on my images, some times my A480 has a mind of its own.

playing with pattern

its only about 4 X 4      I made a few and gave them a gallery frame, reclaimed fir with a oil finish.

legs for the next stump

Some stuff on the way to The Whitestone CoOp

Each of these pieces has a unique story to tell, where I found the material and the people I meet often shape how these new objects come together.

Its been a while

Some new images of the orange stump #2......stand off jig and one with legs on ..Should be doing final assembly soon.
