1/12 Scale Derelict Potter's Shed

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.

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.



























1/12 Scale Shaker style Nightstand

I decided on a slightly less challenging build as a decompression from the roll top desk, the Wooton proving slightly too intense....






























Knobs turned, finish sanded to 2000, beeswax/carnuba wax combination applied.  Also did a Brazilian Rosewood verrsion, and have the wood cut to do a bed and another table.
