The Things People Say

David Mark’s DVD on gilding patination blossomed from an experiment in a new finishing technique to nearly all I do in my woodworking finishes.

The DVD offers a wonderful design process brought to light by using easily followed instructions, and it introduces basic gilding techniques.

It was great to be able to replay portions of it to solidify concepts or to review something I didn’t understand at first glance; and the pace of instruction was comfortable for me.

By just using commonly available chemicals to render patinas, it was simple to achieve beautiful and vivid coloring and finishes.

The design possibilities are still expanding for me since I have “discovered” David’s DVD.
