THE EVOLVING CABINET vol. 1

Remember me telling you about the large oak cabinet that Gabriel tore the doors off of? Well I finely have it out of the den and am "distressing" it. I am doing this for two reasons.
1. Because the damage done by Gabriel left a permanent mark and it's the only logical way to deal with it. (like someone tripping, falling down and jumping up and saying, "I MEANT TO DO THAT!")
2. I figure whatever he does afterwards will (hopefully) only add to it's charm.
If you notice in the photo, I already have one piece like that anyway.
I started working on it on Wednesday and boy is it nasty work. I will post photo's when I am done before Gabriel gets on with it. HEY, then next year I can post pictures of it and we can make it an annual event! We'll call it, "THE EVOLVING CABINET". Artists have different eras they go through. We could say,
This was Gabriel's "forgot to give him his medication" era.
If you google "distressing furniture" you will come up with all different ways to go about it. From whacking it with a bag full of nails, running over it (if it's flat), burying it, sanding it, even beating it with a chain. My goal is to have Gabriel's name come up in a google search for "distressing furniture." You can click on to a website that will show you what types of work he has available.
