From scratch

In efforts to get my work in every single one of my friends houses (truly selfish), I offered to make her anything she wanted. There was a bare wall, clean canvas and an idea. This is how the great ideas start; on the back of a receipt while out with good friends. 

We then went searching for what we would make it out of. As happens when great creative minds get together, the idea evolved. Raw wood was purchased and a few raw wooden dowels. The pieces were cut to size and sanded smooth. Then the fun part of cutting out the holes. 

Each hole was cut to angel on tilt. 

With the cuts made, the staining and lacquering began. 

Mid project the theory was tested

With excitement that the idea was coming together perfectly, the last piece was completed. Making them evenly placed and balanced was crucial. 

With all the pieces completed the install started on my friends bare wall. After figuring out the placement, drilling some holes and securing the Pelican brackets, the project was completed. 

Some close ups

She promises to fill up all the holes and always have a glass ready for visitors.
