A Few Coats of Oil

Posted on DateJan 13, 2007 | by AuthorMarcus

The Bureau is now basically done - just a few coats of oil and it's ready to deliver. 

 

The finishing touch was to make a couple of handles. I carved these by hand with a chisel, which gives them a lovely tactile feeling.

 

 Here it is with the doors open....

 

Wooden bolts are a fun touch with lots of character.
