Читать книгу Creating Wooden Jewelry - Sarah King - Страница 9

The qualities and characteristics of different woods are a huge subject, and so I can only give a brief summary here. You will find a lot of information online or in specialty books on wood if you want to explore the topic further.

In choosing an appropriate wood for a particular project, your starting point should be the dimensions you will need and the technique you plan to use. It is also important to think through what finish you want—whether it will be painted or not. The choices can be rather overwhelming, so research the finishes used on similar techniques in wood jewelry and other applications, such as woodworker’s projects, produced with similar techniques.

This piece of horse-chestnut burr was used to create a pin that celebrates the wood’s form, see page.
