Lady Carpenter

My second ‘easel’ job for Pusey House, this time I made the easel from scratch out of european oak.  It was cut and assembled (using biscuit-jointing) on the dining table.  I hunted down trestle hinges on the internet and finished it off on-site with a lavender scented wax that was a joy to apply. I was very relieved to set this portrait of Lord Halifax on to the easel and into its final position.
