Now THIS is a craft...
Step into my other, real world. And the workshop of the real craftsman chez Dunnit. This monster of a job is taking up a lot of time and the customer is erm, taking up a lot of time, but look at it. Solid oak, to be finished with a simple non gloss seal. Simple, beautiful. Brilliant. Mr Dunnit, bless his modest heart, can't see that. All he can see is the dinosaur that this job has turned into. It's making him fret that he's neglecting others and I feel for him. It's great fun, having a staircase that not only splits in two, but leads to nowhere. Although he was the only one brave enough to run up and down the stairs. It's only slotted together and not tethered to anything. You understand of course, that I felt it improper to be the weight test for solid oak components...if I lost...the components aren't numbered and I don't think I know how to put them back together!
Now THAT is beautiful, just my cup of tea.

ReplyDeleteJo x

Mister Dunnit Amazing... LOL
Do I understand aright? This is not being built in situ? The mind boggles

ReplyDeleteWow, now that is talented, building such a magnificent staircase, and all without the aid of a head. Well done
ReplyDeleteLove from the bears
It's beautiful and reminds me of the stairs in the Loreto chapel which did not have a central column and no nails were used. If you like drama and miracles, here's a link: http://www.salvemariaregina.info/Martyrologies/Stairs%20of%20St.%20Joseph.html

A headless talented craftsman who can produce a beautiful piece of art! Now that's unique ;D
ReplyDeleteI love wood especially oak and that staircase is stunning.
You must be so proud of him.
You will let us see it once it's in situ won't you?

ReplyDeleteAstoundingly beautiful - a real masterpiece in wood!
ReplyDeleteAlison x
Now I'm speechless.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't really believe that, did you, hun? That is A. Maz. Ing. I hope you are taking photos every day of the journey to the finish and making up a "coffee table" book when it's done. That curve defies sense. What a splendid talent that man has in those hands.
ReplyDelete(I was reading the comments on my way down here - usually there are too many, altho nice for you - and I can't believe someone named Kirsty used "in situ" in her comment after I'd just used it in the other post. Don't you think that's weird?)
Wow Julia
ReplyDeleteThat indeed is real craftsmanship. It's the staircase one dreams of. Well, lucky lucky clients I say - well worth the wait.
He deserves some recognition for that stunning project. Well done Mr D!
Hugs
