I’ve been to Korea just a few instances now, I I at all times stroll by this wooden retailer but it surely’s by no means been open. On this journey I walked by once more and it was open. Listed below are just a few photos of inside his superior store and gallery. He’s very proficient!
First we traced the design, then reduce the wooden, rounded the perimeters, after which sanded. Mr. Kwon was very thorough. I selected a walnut that appeared like purple mountains and the opposite piece was mild and from Australia.
He had numerous gear and we used all however the drill press. The noticed was a bit totally different, not like a glass noticed this blade can reduce you. Fortunately for me he did the robust half.
This was the one piece of kit I didn’t like, it was heavy and you must maintain 2 buttons on the identical time and manipulate it.
I did like this router, it made the perimeters good and easy.
The sander was good and acquired the perimeters good and easy.
We used 3 totally different grits, 120, 220, and 400. The darkish walnut is a more durable wooden so I did used every grit 50 instances (3 rows with the grain).
He additionally has a laser printer, to burn his design in it. It was very cool. BTW the final image is him taking an image of me taking an image. Very creative!
Right here is Mr. Kwon doing the following piece. I actually like the image of an image. So cleaver.
Asadal means dawn within the east. BTW I instructed him the items had been beautiful, he instructed me in Korean meaning very unhealthy! I’m like not it’s lovely. I requested him the Korean phrase for lovely – however I don’t have a knack for languages and couldn’t repeat it.
I oiled the chopping board, however not the flowery board. Mr. Kwon took the final two photos – he’s fairly a photographer.
That is the artwork board, to me it’s like a charcuterie board. What a pleasant bag that got here with it. I haven’t determined if I ought to stain it, wooden burn it, or simply go away it the way in which it’s. I simply find it irresistible. The underside three photos are of the chopping board and I oiled it, he instructed me I would like to grease it yet one more time and he gave me additional oil.
Listed below are photos of Mr. Kwon and me. It’s humorous earlier than we took the image we had been each like oh no my hair!
I really like taking courses and taking a category in Korea, was superior.
