JIN hair studio

The top bedroom of our house is really not the place to make anything big, like a reception counter for a small hair studio. I need somewhere more family friendly, and a place where you can leave your mess, without little hands fumbling with the timber and sharp tools. 

I wanted to get a Japanese look to the reception counter. I think it worked well. The finish was adding deep reds with black paint onto the plywood and rubbing them into the surface to create an aged effect.

My wife scribed the mirror tables to the walls, they're perfectly done. Nice job.

Key rings

What a great summer this is turning out to be. I loved watching the Olympics recently, I think it has injected a much needed can do spirit around the place.
Hope you like these little key rings I've been doing. They're are very popular in Whitstable, but could also have your logo/name/business name on instead.

Maple and American Black Walnut box.

Here is the first wee jewellery box.

Four varying depth compartments for ear-rings/cuff links and the like. One pair of magnets to locate the lid to the base.

I lined the bottom with some lovely Japanese paper that I got in Tokyo- I tore each of the fibrous circles to fit each compartment, more satisfying than cutting them.
