I’ve been missing in action for a couple of weeks! Hectic times! Lots of drawings and other new exciting but busy developments.
I did finally get a chance to finish up my contribution to the Pokémon Battle Royale show at the Light Grey Art Lab Gallery in Minneapolis MN! I was asked to draw Team Rocket, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the selection. Prepare for trouble etc.

I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.

This is a comparison shot of one of the dresser drawers that I haven’t done anything to yet (top) and the drawer that I sanded to bare wood, put 4 coats of waterlox on, and finished with a top coat or furniture wax and buffed it out to shine.
Check out the link to my Flikr page to see a couple more photos.
First woodworking project since high school
It isn’t something I’m going to sell though. I’m currently restoring my mom’s dresser, which I think is a cedar (not sure though). I have to sand off the existing finish because it is worn out and not very protective at all, and then apply multiple coats of my own finish. Using a traditional hand rubbed finish, it is shaping up to look beautiful. I use Waterlox, which is a Tung Oil product, but also has some varnish in it to add protection that the oil doesn’t add by itself. And then I’m giving it a top coat of a furniture wax which is buffed out to give it nice sheen. Expect pictures soon. I’m doing this project drawer by drawer, so it’s going to take a while before the whole dresser is done. But from what I see on just the first drawer, it will definitely be worth it.

Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence.
