Robins Egg Raffia

A collaboration with my wife Alison. Turned from London Plane, branded, milk paint, flat lacquer spray. The ribbon is Anigre and the flower is Arbutus Burl shavings. The hat after branding weighed 6.7 ounces and there were several flare ups during branding.

Thanks Paul, its an addiction. My first hat was very thick when I took it off the jamb chuck. I thought it was thin but had no idea it was still 1/4" think at the top. That drove me to keep trying and to get thinner and thinner. Then the addiction become different shapes of hats, this is the first of this style and we are working on a huge sombrero, its turned and dry but now needs embellishing.
