Shelves

Some shelves for Elizas hair salon Blondies in Bondi - mostly pieces of Australian red cedar and a couple of oregon(?) floorboard pieces.

 
Installed

 


 

They're all lacquered now to install tomorrow ...

A Finished piece against some that have just been sanded


 
unvarnished

 
sanding...







 
An offcut test painted with a couple of coats of shellac (French polish)

 
And another


 
Shellac - chitin - the material of insect exoskeletons


 
The first shelf

 
grinder - to use very delicately, mostly on the edges


 
The first shelf and a piece with varnish test




 
A couple of pieces of Australian Red Cedar, risers from an old staircase that still have their colour despite being cut down and milled well over 100 years ago.

They will become shelves in Eliza's hair salon in Bondi
