Metal laminated.

Day twenty-eight.

A piece of alu-mini-um laminated between a piece of wood that I had laminated earlier last week. The piece of aluminium protrudes from the top a tad for the hanger.

Acrylic inlay..

Day twenty-five.

I laminated acrylic into the center of wood. Nice clean retro look. I really have a soft spot for this red orange color.

Apple don't sue me!

Day twenty-four.

I heard Apple has a patent on "rectangular objects with rounded corners." Lame Apple is lame. Whatever.. bias aside, here is a rectangular pendant with rounded corners. Made from brick I snagged from a lot in Detroit. Cut thin and glued like the wood stuff I've been working on.

Twins! I win!

Day twenty-three.

Today I made a twin for the pendant I did on day seventeen. Friendship pendants. I also polished the inside of the tube on both. Nice and clean.

Pendant!

Day twenty-one.

Another pendant with laminated wood. This one has a rather sophisticated shape. Two rivets cross the piece horizontally and are exposed on either side.

I lied.. Don't judge..

Day eighteen.

I couldn't help myself. One more. Something different tomorrow.. I promise.

Cosby sweater..

Day sixteen.

Ok so today I'm adding some process shots here, per suggestion. A bunch of little strips of wood.. Cut thin and sanded.

Wood is then glued and clamped for bit...

After dried, you're left with this mess..

Cut down, shaped and sanded..

Holes for rivets are drilled. Rivets are then glued in and filed flush..

Sand, sand, sand and then sand a bit more.. Voila!

This is made with pieces of laminated veneer cut into veneer. Gives it that Bill Cosby sweater look. I still need to put some finish on it. I have plans to apply Tung oil this evening. This veneer thing is working out pretty sweet.

Riveted lamination.

Day fifteen.

Halfway today! Woo hoo! Another laminated wood pendant. Four pieces of wood laminated together in a teardrop shape. The weight is on the top while the piece tapers toward the bottom. There are rivets that go through the piece to both sides. Very excited about this guy.

Lamination.

Day fourteen.

I laminated a few pieces of wood together today. I've got a few more pieces in the works. I'm very excited with about these. The next couple will be a tad more complex.
