Eventually I'll learn to take better pictures, I was in too much of a rush and forgot to take pics in the makerspace where the lighting is excellent, the pics don't pic up the glitter very well, in person it really compliments the gold colour of the Oak.
Next time you are photographing outside on an overcast day , take a torch with you and shine it onto the object from level with the camera lens..Move it around a bit til you get the light that you want. Cheaper than having an assistant holding a bounce card ( metallic or plain, or coloured ) or a lighting brolly. Gold bounce will "warm", silver will "cold"..you can rig up a "cheapy" using a "survival blanket" ( the metallic polyester film ones ) on a frame or just held with clothes pegs onto a piece or stiff card or light weight ply or plastic sheet. But "bounce" is awkward if it's a windy day and you are doing it all yourself, a torch will add a bit of "pop / sparkle" where you want it.

I don't think your suppose to post my secret Santa gift this early. Aren't you suppose to wait til after Christmas?
Beautiful but pointless, the kids will just throw shoes and coats on the floor near it, but never actually use it.
The stainless runners and rail, the herringbone baskets, and the oak seat lift it out of the normal to the fabulous!
You are very kind, thank you.

Stig,
no real gold.....!!!!!! lol....
it's almost as cheap as Oak now.....
Theboy67.....
My step daughter was just the same with her clothes n shoes......
I just picked em up and tossed them out the window when it was raining......
Once she realised that there were NO clean clothes for her to wear she soon started to look after her gear.....
She even now uses the shoe laces......!!!!!!!.....
ps, her mother still doesn't after 25 years of marriage, I've given up nagging.....hahaha......

Some of my pieces are happy accidents, the burr globe for instance was just empty headed cutting to round and balance it so I could then decide what to make from it, it decided that's all it needed so now sits on my side table next to the sofa with Birch burr egg
