(no subject)
So, I bought a spinning wheel. It's an unfinished Ashford Traditional single drive, single treadle.
I haven't actually spun on it yet, since it's unfinished. I did some research and went out and bought supplies: wood conditioner, stain and polyurathane, sanding pads, nitrile gloves and foam brushes.
The bobbins were going to be my test subjects.
A coat of wood conditioner and then Minwax's Jacobean stain,
Excess stain wiped off and then a second coat reapplied.
Phase 1 grew to include the pieces for the Lazy Kate.
Phase 1 with the first coat of polyurathane on it. (I need to redo the lazy kate base. A bit of an oopsie there.)
Phase 2 sanded and ready to go.
Phase 3 sitting there, being all intimidating. (Bonus toes!)
So yeah, that's what I've been up to lately. The Tour de Fleece starts Sunday, but I won't be ready to go by then.
Also.
I LOVE ALL THEIR PRECIOUS FACES. BABY OILERS!
