Gallery

29th November 2009

Slowly starting to populate the gallery. Trouble is, on the restoration side of things, I either take before photos and forget the afters or forget to take the befores and remember when I am taking the afters. Nonetheless, I am starting to remember to take more photos of restoration and making. I have even invested in a nice white backdrop so you don't keep seeing my tatty old rug and sofas in the background. The backdrop hasn't been used yet but I am certainly looking forward to having more aesthetic photos for folks to gaze at soon.

Medullary Rays - This photo was taken very spontaneously when I realised that the sun was catching, just perfectly, the top of an Oak sideboard I had made. Too often with flash photography Oak's rays in quarter sawn boards look gawdy. Not needing to use flash on this photo meant that it caught much more of a natural look. More like what you would see in a rich piece of Oak as you passed it by. The top was inlaid with Walnut banding, the dark, straight lines that you see in the photo also.
