Okvirja

V petek so bile tri letve neznanega izvora (beri: nimam pojma, kdaj in zakaj sem jih kupil/dobil) in ene deska iz debla stare slive, ki je včasih rasla na našem vrtu.

A small project for this weekend (actually, for Friday and Saturday afternoon) – I started with four pieces of wood …

V soboto sta iz njih nastala dva okvirja. Manjši je šel danes od doma za darilo, veliki pa bo nekoč visel na zidu v spalnici.

… and turned them into two frames. The small one is a picture frame and left the house today as a gift and the larger is an unfinished project which will some day hang in our bedroom. (I’ll make sure to publish final result here.)

Ročaj za mali okvir je prišel iz K-jine škatle s posebnimi kosi.

The small frame hangs on a drawer frame which I took from K’s “special” box.

Za površinsko obdelavo sem uporabil šelakovo polituro, ki sem jo pred leti dobil za darilo, pa ni nikoli prišla na vrsto.

It is finished with shellac.

Deska je bila vsa ukrivljena, zato se nisem pretirano ubadal z ravnimi robovi in ujemanjem kotov, temveč sem na koncu z brušenjem zgoljufal lep, »naplavinast« videz.

The board that was used for the small frame was all uneven and twisted so I had to “fix” some problems at corners with sanding.

Rezkanje utorov v velikem okvirju je bilo ekstra zoprno. Še bo treba vaditi … Ampak s temle kotom sem že skoraj zadovoljen.

The big frame was easy to put together but I had quite some work with precise routing. It’s not perfect yet, but I’m getting there.
