Peterson Update

Here's some updates on the Peterson job. A while back, we finalized the color scheme - a brown base color with blue marbling. Below are the colors. The right blue is the one we're going with - more of a blue/gray than a true blue.


A couple of weeks ago, some buddies and I actually poured everything. It only took a couple of hours of work and some large pizzas, but it was totally worth it for as good of a job as they did.



It took about 7 batches. Yes, 7, but the guys did a great job, especially since I forgot to have them add the diamond lathe until the first piece was already filled. Whoops.

A couple of days layer, we flipped everything over. Two of the pieces are noticably heavier than the others, but with some help, they went right over.

After some sanding and grinding, it was time to slurry with the blue. Yes, it's supposed to be that blue. Next, I'll get the grinder out and sand down the blue, which will leave a really cool brown base with blue marbling effect. I've done it for two of the pieces since this picture, and it looks really really cool. I'll get some more pictures up once soon.


So far, everything's going really well. Hopefully it continues that way.
