Big frame


This is also current and unfinished. It's the largest frame I've attempted so far and I'm using the same techniques and material as the last one. This time I have used the table saw to cut the 45 degree angles at the corners which was successful and they are pretty snug, just needing a bit of sanding. It's for BEAR a piece of art I invested in and the frame needs to do it justice but have a plain look about it. Usually I go for the rustic look so a bit of care needed to get the right affect.

It's a carry easel


Sneaky peak at the new project. I don't want to say too much about it yet as its a mystery. Will reveal all later this week hopefully. Deadline set.

Had to order some catches and hinges but was quite difficult to find and when they turn up I had to modify the holes and use larger screws. But after I sorted them out I was amazed at the finnished nature of the..... Still not divulging the detail as its a present. The colour is a first and used this as a test for another surfboard which I'm planning, also gave it a coat of varnish so hopefully the draw wount stick. I need to buy a a3 pad which will hopefully fit in the draw and then deliver to recipient.
