Wine Crate #6
Another gift to our dear friend. This wine crate was found at Total Wine in Palm Beach Gardens location. It is plain on the outside so far and I have more hardware to install plus more sanding and lacquer the outside. On the inside I created a collage of Ukraine motief for our Ukrainian friend. This is still a work in progress… Enjoy…
More sanding and stain and work the outside finish… It’s an interesting stain to use and still working through how to manage it. I experimented and used a dry brush technique and plus used a brushing technique to get the stain to here. The stain has some qualities that allow more ways to achieve a unique finish. Also added some unique side pieces and decorative tacks…. I plan to use the gold paint on the vineyard letters and emblem.
Still in progress…
A few more adjustments, install the latch, spray matt lacquer and polish the hardware it looks complete… I don’t want to add a handle on this one or embellish the top and like it the way it is. This case is the first case I installed the cigar type hinges. I also use Tim Holtz hardware items. I do hope she likes it…
