About the design

The only thing I did on the piece today was to look again at the Fiddleback Blackwood. You see, I've got a business (http://www.antongerner.com.au) to run and this piece is in my spare time. I've put some water on the surface so you can see what the colour and grain will look like. STUNNING !!!
 

Before I go any further with this project I thought I'd explain a little about the design. When I first had the idea for this piece I completed many pages of small thumbnail ideas. This got the basic design out of my head and helped narrow down the direction I would take.


Watch the video below where I explain some more detail about the design.

  1. Nice post. The videos really bring this story to life.

    (a) When I saw the photo where you poured water onto the veneer, I thought you had done a wee on it!

    (2) Does blogger host the videos for free? I guess so.

    (c) What are you shooting the videos on? The sound is terrible. I bet it's a point and shoot still camera with a movie mode. Ah well, what can you do. Actually you can do something... I was at O'works the other night and noticed they were selling Canon FS100 SD camcorders for, like, $399. I almost got one myself but I have sort of run out of money at the moment.
