In this project, I take a piece of Ash wood and woodturn it into the shape of a beautiful bird bath. After turning the piece, I use stone effect paints to give the bird bath a natural, rustic look. To create a realistic water effect, I mix Mica Powders from Eye Candy Pigments with Mod Podge, achieving a shimmering, lifelike surface in the basin. Watch as the combination of texture, color, and craftsmanship transforms this Ash wood into a functional work of art for the garden!
Materials & Tools Used:
Ash Wood
Stone Effect Paints
Eye Candy Pigments: eyecandypigments.com/NorthsideCustomCrafts (use Code JAKE15)
Mod Podge for water effect
Wood Lathe and turning tools
