Hang Yer Hat
Thursday, March 14th, 2019 I have quite a set of caps, so I have been thinking about ways to store them. These two products were inspired by the sketches I have been doing for the ‘Creative Gambit’ show in July. Both of them are turned from some 6 x 6″ recycled redwood posts.
The pawn is a nice table-top stand from a classic shape in chess.
The hall tree is built like a totem – small turned sections on a central 2″ plastic pipe. I have always wanted to make larger spindle turnings, but I have a short-bed Vicmark lathe. The totem design is a great solution. The sections can be rearranged, too. This totem includes finishes with charring and black milk paint, painted faux beadwork, metal reactive paints, and one bead that is upholstered with a batik fabric.
I have always been interested in products on the cusp between treen and furniture. Here are two!
