Wadda ya mean "What's it for?"

**TTIT** · 19th May 2006, 12:41 AM

Just when I thought I could get away with making anything I wanted as long as I thought it looked good! Showed this piece to the eldest son and his girlfriend say's "What's it for?":eek::mad::mad::mad:. Back to the shed I head grumbling indignantly as I go. "What would she know about art or woodwork anyway!"

"Why should I care what she thinks!"

........ Now it's a (convertable) candlestick holder!

For those interested, the pot is Beefwood, the drips are Jacaranda. 180 x 110 . Finished with EEE followed by 2 coats of Shellawax cream. Topped with Ubeaut Traditional wax - for no other reason than the smell - Gawd I love it! First and last time I use Beefwood too - horrible to work with - too resinous which clogs the sandpaper super quick and gums the tools up. Gotta try everything at least once though!

Q: "Oh... how does it work?"
A: "It already has."

Hey that looks awesome man. I like it. Very special.

Hi TTIT - very nice. I've heard so much about Beefwood, but this is the first time I've seen it! Looks fantastic! Shame it's such a pain to work~!

Great job, as usual!! And your bowls are more useful than a painting, yet they are a work of art as well.

Cheers,

Jill

It looks excellent, well done

**jmk89** · 19th May 2006, 10:15 AM

I'm still trying to work out how you use it to get stuff out from between your teeth

Seems a funny kind of toothpick, TITT

TTIT nice piece of work, both of those timbers I had not seen in the flesh before, nice contrast.
Will come in handy when those brownouts turn into blackouts or is that only in South East Qld??????
Lovely work
