Just did some paperwork. New business cards, sales tags and poster. I'm not too quick at this and have to get going now as I have sat long enough to get a leg cramp. Got the Oak Bench glued together today. Now I'll see how my fumed oak finish worked out on my sample pieces. I've never tried it before so its all learning. Oak fumed in amonia is supposed to go to a nice brown like craftsman style furniture. The finish is a chemical change to the wood and not just a surface stain. From what I've read on the subject, the best results are on European oak and some North American oak goes kind of greenish instead of brown. I'll get out to the shop and see how it turned out.
Later, I'll head down to Heritage Nursery, Nakusp B.C. and deliver my most recent Hand Carved Burl Bowls. All for now, I'll let you know the results of my experiment and post some photos of the bench when it is done.
