So, here’s what it looks like so far -it’s at about 80% right now. The frame work is yet to be done, as well as the addition of the caption, which is really important to the piece.
I know this piece may seem a bit random to some, but if you sit and look through my body of work, you would notice that the heart is an ongoing theme. This particular piece seems to tie everything together. I’ll get a little deeper into how’s and why’s once I reveal the final product ;) Baby, there’s always a story…

More Progress. Back in the summer, I made a terrible decision to stain this piece, not fully understanding the wood I was working with - bad move. The entire heart had to be sanded down to nothingness :( Heartbroken (literally), I abandoned ship until I was able to think clearly and figure out a way to salvage this beauty.
So today, Friday February 5, 2010 I finally solved the problem. Hoooofuckingraaahhh!

It’s looking a hell of alot better, aye? A little bit more back cutting, a little bit of rounding, and a shit load of sanding really goes a long way, lol. I’m just stoked it actually looks like a heart.
I’m hoping new friends over at WCI will give me some tips on how to treat the wood properly. For now I’m debating whether or not I’m going to do my signature style staining to it…hmm, me thinks…

More progression! As you can see, a little back cutting goes a long way. I can’t wait to finish this and oil it up!

(still more waste removal and back cutting to do, but it’s coming along)
