Steampunk

A few weeks ago I did an interesting job for a well known theme park. They required some projector screen surrounds in a steampunk style for an event they had on. I was eager to get going on these because this type of work is right up my street.

I employed the help of my sister Lorna Horton to do some of the finer detail and painting.

Many of the parts were sourced from reclamation yards and then arranged to create mechanical / decorative elements found within the steampunk theme.

Here are some pictures of the work: (please excuse the background, these took up quite a lot of space in my workshop)

Wing Shelf:

This is a project that has actually been finished for some time... I've only just got around to taking pictures and making it available to buy. I'm hoping to find a buyer that deals in or collects bespoke items such as this, which might hopefully open doorways for some other items that I'm working on.

This piece is and actual part of a Nimrod aircraft wing. It has been stripped back, polished and finished with varnished hardwood ends.
