Driftwood Plank

Now this is my absolute favourite piece! This incredibly beautiful plank was recovered from the sea, covered in barnacles and sea slime! It took months to dry out completely. I set to work initially using flap wheels to clear off the barnacles and seasalt, then seeing the beautiful scars that its life in the big blue had left, I gently used a tiny grinder to smooth and enhance each mark. After many, many hours of work I finished it off with several coats of wax.....and what an amazing work of art it is!

The drift plank is about 5ft5 in length
Both sides of The Drift Plank have been loved and finished to a high standard and I have tried to just enhance the natural beauty of this piece. I love it! And I hope you do too!
