Blossom Bloom

this is a plank of wood about to be sanded
here is the same plank sanded and ready for action

The before and after sanding of this beauty maple slab. I cycle through about 6 grits to create a nice smooth surface.

Next is the sketch. I just use a mechanical pencil for this to work out any kinks of the design I have in my head and make sure it fits.

now it is time for the sketch

Time for the outlining. This part is the committing to the design step. No room for errors!

an outline of the sketch comes next

And the shading!! It's long and tedious but oh so satisfying.

The Above image is without an oil finish and below is with oil finish. The differences are subtle. I use an organic bees wax and coconut oil. My intention is to maintain as much of the natural essence and look of the wood while giving it a little more protection. 

a coating of some wood butter to protect and gloss

This piece stands about 26 inches tall and 12 inches wide and is available at Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House in Campbell River, B.C
