25.01.2022 Progress shots of a painted illustration (2009). The finish on this instrument is VERY light varnish to protect the painting and seal the timber. The varnish was applied sparingly to prevent a chemical reaction with the paint, and the surface was finally hand polished to avoid sanding away any of the image.

24.01.2022 Delicate 'tribal' inspired illustration and mother of pearl inlay detail. Illustration done with water based felt tip pen.

12.01.2022 FEATURE: Huon Pine is a native Australian timber, growing only in South West Tasmania. The timber has a very high oil content which means the timber can be shaped without splitting and finishes to a rich honey gold (shown below).
