Extra mile for one snap. :)

Once my eye caught an old rusty seamless little table with oak worktop and wrought iron legs. I had it transported across all Europe and shipped to UK. I had a vision for one snap shot and today it is all done.
I have completely retreated and refurbished it. (it cost me my cars rear carpets being black glossy color for ever after paint spillage and long hours cleaning ) After that a little photo setup was done and here are story in photos

Very creative, never heard of 'monkey shoulder' whiskey, loving the last but one image of the close up - nice.

I was going to mention suffering for your art, but I thought about what might by now be an empty whisky bottle, and a room full of cigar smoke, and asked myself where was the suffering in that? Great effort, and I love the table.

You've done a great job on this table...looks like hard work. Love the footprints, they're really cool.
And by the way, you took nice photos of the working process.

Thank you guys. Glad you like. That sip of 'Monkey shoulder' was much to my gratification after all work done.

Do you actually smoke, smoke?
