February wigstand

I haven’t spent much time in the shop this month.  A combination of an impending career change, an ex-wife who just won’t go away, and some other “life decisions” has pretty much sapped any creative energy I’ve had.  When I did manage to get in the shop, I discovered that my lathe was broken and had to wait for parts to be shipped in.  Yeah, they only came from Utah, but it still took 6 days for the mailman to deliver them.

For this wig stand, I had completed the turning before the lathe broke.  Between waiting for layers of paint to dry, then waiting for the layers of finish to dry, it took over a week.  Not a whole lot of “different” to this one from past stands, except for the addition of the pegs to allow the user to hang a necklace, if they want.  Hope they like it…

With the iridescent paint and four coats of wipe on Poly finish, it’s hard to get a picture that shows the color without having flash marks.
