Coming Attractions
Ok now is the time to get sexy.
That wonderful consumer holiday is fast approaching and I have the most sexiful wares in town .. and I mean SEXY!!!
Those of you who have been around for a bit may remember this post I did, where you may remember the sneaky peek I did at the end of a long piece that was carved. I have been sitting on that ever since so that I could have the final piece just the way I wanted it. By that I mean, sexy deep and dark finish that is smooth and silky to the touch. Well here you see what I have finally arrived at!
(The originally posted pic can be found @: http://bissekart.blogspot.com/2005/03/easter-doings.html )
The same could be said for a couple of other pieces that are about to go up for sale. Those of you who have actually had a good long look about the website (Bissekart.com) may remember the table tops I did. I was never happy with the finish I got on the legs. Yes I KNOW you don't actually tend to SEE the legs but I was never happy with them none the less. That is now a thing of the past.
ALSO in the category of "never quite what I wanted" was the top that looked like this ...
My gripe with it was that while it was carved in ... it always looked like it was done in a drunken stupor with a damn tick Nikko marker!!
While it had a certain stark simplicity to it ... oh let's face it - I thought it looked damn awful.
So what do you do in that case? Well you sit and wait and then you redo it ... and if you are very lucky then you have learnt a thing or two since then and you apply those new skills to the job at hand. If you are VERY lucky you may even wind up getting the finished product to look like you would have dearly wished in the first place!!
What does it look like now? Well feast the eyes on this beauty.
While this is a table top, I would strongly urge that it be put on the wall. It is very tactile and well ... the effect is better!

Am I having fun yet or what!??!
And I haven't even begun talking about the many books that will be going up in the near future ... the motto here is that if you want the most sexiful stuff around at the very best price around ... the Rough Cuts shop on eBay is the place to go.
Do yourself a favour...
