Wall art
« on: March 29, 2022, 06:19:48 PM »
 Seeing as there is very little activity of members work of late here is my latest.
 Feed back/ comments welcomed.
 Material is oak 300mm x 300 mm with a few scattered spots of burr. The outer rim has been textured by a mini chain saw disc, scorched and spirit
 stained with final coat of lacquer.
 The centre is coloured with acrylic paint

Hi Ken I like the turning and texturing but I think the Red colour for the centre makes it look like a Bulls Eye only my personal taste.

Hi John,
Thanks for your comments.
I did try various shades of green, blue and yellow on a scrap piece of oak but did not look very exiting to me, so settled on red. Colour is always a personal preference.
Regard
Ken

Have you thought of doing these but making the various 'discs' off-centre? Solves the bulls eye effect and adds interest.

Agreed. Gold leaf might look nicer and easily added?

Thanks for posting Wood spinner that’s a very good turning and I can see the effect of the off-set makes.
Also like the textured areas.
Regards
Ken

Hi Peter
Thanks for the link to your gallery, this is the first time I have looked at it. You have an amazing number of quality turning on there.
 It is nice to see other people’s work that shows what can be achieved.
I agree it does not need to be round, I think natural edges/ holes and splits and be incorporated and enhance a piece of work.
Regards
Ken
