This began as a club project, a Roadside Stand, and went as far as the photos show.
Construction is balsa, and once glued up was weathered with various wire brushes followed by a number of coats of a steel wool/ white vinegar soak solution. The more coats, the darker it got.
Then began light acrylic washes of various shades of black and greens, followed by thicker point placement of "moss" and more moss colored green shades.
Knotholes added and darkened.
This shed has been out in wet weather a long time... starting to rot a bit at the bottom.
Old dirty and broken planter pots added.
A collection of my various miniature ramblings and builds. I am a hobby builder obsessed with detail. If you are just reading here for the first time I recommend starting with the earliest entries as the succeeding ones will make more sense. I welcome comments, criticism, ideas, etc etc. Enjoy the sawdust! Gary Graves, member IGMA, NAME

1/12 Scale Shaker style double bed
I decided the nightstands needed a bed to go with them. Plans are for octagonal tapered pencil posts, but I chose to go with round tapers instead.
