This is just a quick drive by on this post.
Recently a good wood working buddy named Candy gave me some of the ugliest wood you've ever seen. As some of you know, I love ugly wood though. The ugliest wood usually yields the prettiest pieces.
This is different views of the same piece.
This is persimmon. You may can tell that is has a lot of what looks to me like beetle or termite tracks. It created though a very interesting maze of crack, holes and voids.
This is only a small piece. I have a couple of larger pieces she gave me to do some bowls with later. I only had a little time today to mess with it and wanted to see how it would turn out. It is only about two and three quarters inches in diameter and about four inches tall.
It is finished with boiled linseed oil.
William, I did some research early on and I think the damage was caused by powder post beetle. Love the richness the BLO imparted to the piece! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis way my colleague Wesley Virgin's biography begins with this SHOCKING and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
These are the same secrets many celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.
You've heard that you use only 10% of your brain.
Mostly, that's because most of your brain's power is UNTAPPED.
Maybe this thought has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind about seven years ago, while driving a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a vehicle with a suspended driver's license and $3.20 on his debit card.
"I'm so fed up with going through life check to check! Why can't I become successful?"
You took part in those questions, ain't it right?
Your own success story is going to happen. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
