which he has developed an inventory of techniques using varnishes and shellacs, inks and oil washes, epoxy, fiberglass and flocking — a close - clipped rayon fiber applied with a blow gun to produce a textural effect like that on a phonograph turntable); the louvered
ceiling has been duplicated; and the perfect carpentry of the bar itself had somehow to be badgered into an aging crookedness.
I don't want the big «gymnasium» look, but wanted to do
slanted ceilings and some beams to cozy it up,
which would go with the Craftsman style home we are building.
