 Got a good response to the artwork on my handplanes I've been shaping. So I've decided paint waves on some gesso boards. These are all acrylic on a very smooth gesso. Details about them are below in the photos. I should have pay pal up and running very soon. Until then if you would like one, leave a comment here and I will get in touch with you. Or find me on Facebook.

Hand Planes for sale!

 Some may have seen in recent posts, I've been hard at work making a fresh batch of hand planes. Each one is hand shaped and hand painted by me. Start to finish. Made from poplar wood, and completed with a strong  polycrylic finish. They're available for sale through my gracious friends at Stoke Harvester on their site. If you like what you've seen, head over there and pick one up!(Heck even if you don't body surf these would look great on the wall and I hate saying that but it's true) Thanks in advance for the support if you choose to grab one, and also thanks for all the words of kindness and support. I hope you're as stoked on them as I am!

Green means go

Painting Planes.

Running through some new hand planes. I'll have a more thorough description of how these are made, and the steps that go into them soon. For now here are a few pics of the beginning of the painting process. Starting with pencil sketching an outline, then moving into the paint. Final pics of these will be up later.

Candles!

Working on cranking out candles. Found some quotes that I think fit my thoughts on candles pretty well.

"There isn´t enough darkness in all the world to snuff out the light of one little candle." 


"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

Three wave set! 

Beeswax, hurricane, and multi color. Just a start.

Painting with light.

  I've been waiting for some sun and some clear non rainy nights when I could go practice some light painting with my camera. Wednesday and Thursday allowed me to be able to do this. Set out Wednesday and had equipment problems due to user error. Finally figured out what was going on Thursday morning, and went back Thursday night with much better results. Turns out one of the settings I had my camera on were messing with the remote timer. I Shot late into the night and here are a few of the following results. Even though Wednesday night had some frustration Thursday more than made up for it(gotta put in the work for the results right?). Can't wait to go out and do some more.

More Stoke!!!!

It's been a really busy past couple of weeks for me. Designing logos, editing photos, printing hoodies, getting in lifting at the gym. I'm getting much too little sleep. But things are getting done! Here are some pics of the new Stoke Harvester sweatshirts hot off the press. I've heard when you wear one of these you don't age.

Stoke!

Spring is on the way!

Seems like the sunny weather is finally starting to get here(even though it's raining now). Finally the temp is starting to get warmer on paddles, and the wind is dying off. A few pics from a recent sunny weather paddle.
