Blue Altar Mirror from woodscraps and recycled parts.


This photo really shows the diamond appliques that I use.  This Altar has antique mirror and the surround is blue Bullseye Glass.

When I make a piece that has all of these triangle shapes it means I am at the tail-end of a big building binge and have a lot of small leftover pieces of wood. I cut them down into triangles and then start layering them to make interesting shapes and designs.  It is very difficult to make art deco styled furniture using just saws and no bent wood but with this triangle layering technique, you can turn out some very interesting art deco designs!

Blue Altar Shelf: pine, Bullseye Stained Glass, birch, Victorian house trims, hand cut diamond appliques, antique mirror, Miller Latex Paint, Spar Varnish.
