John B Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) G'day all, The 1st 4 of a new batch of tissue boxes. These I finished with the Automotive clear. I don't think I have posted these particular patterns before, if so I apologise. I have included 2 face on shots as they show the pattern clearly, take with my phone. I'm a bit of a novice taking photos with a phone (They should not be able to do that)" The individual ones I used my camera. I forgot to tell the timbers. The white is Radiata Pine and the red is Marri. It's a bastard for splinters but the look makes it worthwhile.http://www.fpc.wa.gov.au/about-us/publications/species/marri Cheers Edited April 11, 2019 by John B frankorona, Rob, MTCowpoke22 and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bit of a spray booth set up in my shed (well really a low bench, a fluro light and an exhaust fan). It says to thin 20% but do closer to 50%. Either 2 or 3 coats cutting back between each with 320g paper.. Dries nice and quick so I don't have to wait long before not having to worry about dust.

I can't get over how you get such a great finish on them. Thanks Ralph, The colours of the backgrounds didn't show up, except for the pink. The cats have glitter on black felt, in my wild imagination they look like a few ally cats sitting on a fence, on starry night. The Mum has deep purple felt.
