Sort of Jin-di-sugi ish Cypress Table
This table is in the “Jin-di-sugi” style, however I used a powered wire brush wheel instead of burying it and waiting for the soft wood fibers to decay. I think I’ll be writing a full blog entry on this soon. This was just a utility table for my daughters bunny cage, but I like the technique and will develop it in some pieces to come.
Total tech overload!!!! Looking for new layouts/themes, etc. for tumblr, blogger, etc. and driving me a little batty. At least the web site is were I want it to be…for now. Sometimes wish I A) knew what I was doing w/ all this stuff B) could afford to pay someone to do it for me.
But…I have a limited skill set and I’m pretty much OK with that.
more ramblings
Going to be writing a new blog post on the idea of “disposable” consumerism. I think this is a good time for such a topic.
Main points:
buying cheap vs. buying what will last (both in relevance and durability)
how disposable consumerism hurts “green” ideals
how this time in history will (HOPEFULLY) transition from quantity mindset to quality mindset.
+ anything else...
Finally boiled my business philosophy down to two basic elements:
1) Build beautiful furniture for those who will appreciate it.
2) Share/Teach whatever I can to whomever will ask.
More to come.
