A John Nelson Pattern

[MacS]

This is one of John Nelson patterns that Fox Chapel is now selling.
I think, Dale H wife Linda cut this out from BB plywood as you can see in photo #1.

I finished it as a "silver faux finish." It will soon be used in a magazine article.

It's a very easy finished to do, once you know how. Its also, a beautiful piece that I wanted to share with you all.

It can be ordered through Fox Chapel Publishing.

I'm sorry, photo #1 didn't come up.

But this one does shows the 2 photos, the first one shows the scrolled pattern on BB plywood, and the second photo shows the silver faux finish on the mirror with the attached shelf.

To add some contrast to John Nelson's mirror with the attached shelf, here it is shown with the "silver faux finish" on a red bacground.

WOW, this time, it worked the first time.

Mac-

That's very nice, you did a great job. The finish in silver look interesting. I like John's patterns as well. I bought some at the Open House.

A close up photo

Thanks for the complments.

Here, is a close up showing part of the "silver faux finish."

Here, is how it was done.

1- I started with few coats of sealer.
2- I then used a Silver Acrylic aerosol, I applied a couple of coats.
3- I then clear coatd it with Acrylic Clear Flat aerosols.
4 -I then glaze it, with a black coloued glaze, by dabbing and mottling.
5- I then sealed in the glaze with the Acylic Clear Aerosol.
6- I flyspecked the "dots" with the black glaze.
7 -I completed the silver faux finish, with a few coats of Acrylic Clear Lacquer.

Always allow extra time for drying and sanding.

Good Luck
