      @Palmer:

      Shortly before the pandemic I got a new bed and wanted to make a headboard for it. I got a decent amount of cherry for the project and spent last week designing and building one with my uncle in his wood shop.

      Fantastic…

        Great job @Palmer

        I jumped off the wrong career ladder about fifteen years ago and was offered a couple of weeks working with a friend’s husband in landscape construction while I made a plan. I stretched that fortnight out to five years. Woodwork was always satisfying.

          @Palmer  fantastic project and documentation I especially liked the close up of the grain. The results look superb.

            Beautiful headboard @Palmer !  As @neph93  noted lovely tight grain.

            really like  the painting too. A lot.

            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
            Well, I have others.

                        I typically buy a pair cheapish shoes to wear each summer, preferably in an unusual color.  I couldn't find a pair I like this year, so I decided to make my own this year. These started life as a plain white pair of PF Flyers Center Lo.  Some fabric paint and a couple of hours later, they looked like this.

                        Not a perfect paint job, but overall, I'm happy with them.

                          They look factory. Nice work. Great evo potential.

                              Thanks, guys.

                              I've never painted a pair of shoes before, so it will be interesting to see what happens with them over time.

                                            Thank you! The similarity to denim wearing is strong. Like wearing a pair of IH for at least 1000 wears, this paper has well over 1000 hours into it, spread out over the course of four years. It's definitely not commercial art. It's more of a temple for personal evolution. I could've stopped multiple times along the way and left it as it was, but I kept drawing over it again and again, so it was definitely not a linear evolution. Just a make it up as you go experience.
