  • Abstract Wall Art Skillfully Carved by Hand

    Hand Carved Abstract Wall Art

    The “abstract tree bark series” is a collection of carvings of trees with abstract designs etched onto their bark. This series is in its second installment, and the artist responsible for it has chosen to maintain the same theme and style as the first.

    In this second piece, the artist has continued to carve out intricate designs onto the tree bark. The abstract patterns do not necessarily represent anything specific, but rather evoke a sense of movement and dynamism. There are curves that seem to sweep across the bark, and lines that flow in and out of each other.

    The artist has used a variety of techniques to create these patterns. Some of the lines are thin and precise, while others are thicker and more rough-hewn. The artist has also incorporated negative space into the design, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the overall effect.

    Despite the abstract nature of this piece, there are still recognizable elements of a tree present. The rough bark texture, the segmented trunk, and the branching limbs are all there. However, the tree is clearly secondary to the intricate designs etched onto its surface.

    The choice to focus on the bark of the tree rather than its leaves or branches suggests a certain fascination with texture and patterning. The artist seems to be exploring the idea of nature as a canvas for human creativity, rather than simply a passive backdrop for it.

    Overall, this second piece in the abstract tree bark series is a continuation of the first, showcasing a strong emphasis on intricate, patterned design. The use of negative space and abstract forms adds an extra layer of interest to the otherwise familiar subject matter of a tree.

Additionally, the actual metal hoop from the barrels is used to create the decorative arch under the seat. The bench is finished with a beautiful natural ‘golden oak’ color, while the underside of the staves is finished with a rich ‘cherry chocolate’ color to complement the natural staining of the red wine previously held in the barrels. The Ponte Vecchio bench measures about 40” X 14 1/2” (top) and 18 1/2” height.

  • Caravel: A Revived Sail Ship Design

    The Caravel

    Recycling has become a vital aspect of our daily lives, as people become increasingly aware of the importance of preserving the planet for future generations. One area where recycled materials are being used in innovative ways is in the manufacturing of furniture and home decor items. The solid white oak stave from French wine barrels has become a popular material for creating beautiful and functional coat racks.

    The staves, which are the curved wooden pieces that make up the body of a wine barrel, are typically made from oak wood. Oak is a durable and long-lasting wood that is resistant to rot and decay, making it an ideal material for wine barrel construction. After the barrels have outlived their usefulness in the wine-making process, they are often discarded or recycled.

    The recycled oak staves offer several unique features that make them ideal for coat rack construction. First, the wood has a beautiful natural patina that comes from years of aged wine and exposure to the elements. The patina gives the wood a warm, rich color and a unique character that cannot be replicated with new wood. Second, the staves are curved, which provides a natural shape for a coat rack. The curve of the stave allows for several hooks to be placed along its length, providing ample space for hanging coats, hats, and other items. Finally, the staves are solid wood, which makes them sturdy and capable of supporting the weight of multiple items.

    Creating a coat rack from recycled oak staves is a unique and rewarding DIY project that can be done with a few basic tools and some woodworking knowledge. The first step is to find a source of recycled oak staves. Many wineries and wine distributors sell used wine barrels at a discounted price. Alternatively, online marketplaces such as Etsy and eBay offer a wide selection of recycled oak staves for sale.

    Once you have acquired the stave, the next step is to clean it and remove any remnants of wine or debris. Sand the surface of the wood with a fine-grit sandpaper to remove any rough spots or blemishes. After sanding, wipe the stave down with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris.

    To create the coat hooks, you will need to purchase some metal hooks or hooks made from a durable material like brass or stainless steel. Measure the length of the stave and space the hooks evenly along its length. Mark the spots where the hooks will be placed with a pencil, then use a drill to create holes for the hooks. Be sure to drill the holes deep enough to securely hold the hooks.

    After drilling the holes, insert the hooks into each hole and secure them with a screw or bolt. Ensure that the hooks are positioned securely, as they will be supporting the weight of coats, hats, and other items.

    Finally, attach the coat rack to the wall using screws or mounting brackets. To ensure that the coat rack is level and secure, use a level to ensure that it is straight before attaching it to the wall. Once the coat rack is mounted, test it by hanging a few coats to ensure that it can hold the weight without falling or sagging.

    In conclusion, recycled solid white oak stave from French wine barrels is an excellent material for creating beautiful and functional coat racks. The unique properties of the wood, including its natural patina, sturdy construction, and curved shape, make it an ideal material for this type of project. By using recycled materials like oak staves, we can help reduce waste and preserve the environment while creating beautiful and functional items for our homes.
