Because 100+ year old wooden vanity mirrors need help too. Broken/missing handle grain matched, sculpted to fit and finished to match.

Freshly polished whew! A lot more difficult than it looks.

Why are the only editing details needed in this scan deep in the cracks of this gnome? And why do the cracks have to be located so .....why, universe, why?

Stitching the border bead chain like the upholstery sewing machine..... 3d scanned, reverse engineered, redesigned, rescaled, and now really looking good.

Sorry for the long video, but this was too gorgeous not to share, and it was just the tack coats! Black dyed heavy birdseye (quilted maybe?)maple.... more on this project later once we get it tuned up and settled down.

Daylight Savings Time change provided a great opportunity to scan this statue in an exterior environment!

Wouldn't it be terrific if it could be made as fast as it simulates? This was replicated with 3d scanning, then digitally modified, sculpted, and scaled, from the original.

It's fireplace season! 2 fireplace mantels finished in 2 days for 2 different clients. But which one was originally painted?

Wishing more people would go for the BOLD colors somedays - this is on fire figuratively, and will be later literally once candles go back in for dinner!

When this bench came in, it was just rusty metal brackets, no hardware, no boards. So we stripped, painted, milled new boards from matching rough stock, and custom fitted each individual slat and bored through with new hardware. The biggest surprise was how inconsistent the holes in the metal brackets were to fit the new boards properly. Yes, that's the touchup paint in the jar on the seat.

This was a fun one to reupholster...."fuzzily". But what is more scary than upholstering in whites? Storing it until it is ready to be delivered! Gotta wrap it right. @studiolark

Sometimes you gotta scan unique parts....but look at the incredible casting textures. You can barely see that in real life.

Sometimes replicating new parts allows for big upgrades in aesthetic, like this replacement auto console we exact matched, recreated, and heavy cleared back again for auto use. Old pieces still there for reference.

From drawing to clay model to digital model to milled to painted and gilded! Crazy details and crazy challenges templating off the clay model.

Getting down to the nitty gritty on a 1920s emerson desk fan with variable speed! Pretty sure it has never been cleaned in 100 years, either.
