Hello Victoria, I am happy to provide an offer for your idea. I have attached sketches of designs that I intend to make to complement your idea. I will make the furniture out of Cypress wood and finishing with a white glossy paint. The drawers will have plastic wheels for easy movement. If the design is okay with you, I can provide a quotation and start realizing your idea. Looking forward to your feedback

Hey Brian,
I love the design for the table, I would also like some calligraphy (burnt art) with the words Urban Jua Group on the top part of the table.I have sent a photo of something similar. Is it possible to have burnt art on painted wood?

Brian Ng'aru 22 May 2023 5:59 pm
Hello Victoria,
It is possible to have the burnt art on plain wood but not on painted wood since one would be burning the paint which will interfere with the outcome of the pyrography. I would suggest that we paint the rest of the table white and leave the top. To merge the design with the drawers, we could paint the frame and leave the drawer front side unpainted.
The unpainted wood will have a clear varnish finishing.
Would that work for you?

Hey Brian,
That is great, can't wait to see the progress on the table thus far.
Regards,
Vicky.

Hello Victoria, so far I have been able to prepare the different pieces for the project, I have made some adjustment to the design, we will paint all the drawers white all round and leave the desk top with plain wood so that everything below the desk is white.
I have managed to curve the legs and like the outcome.
I have also completed doing the pyrography artwork on the desk top
What remains is cutting everything to size and joining them then they can be painted. I have attached updates of the progress and process

Hello Vicky, the desk is ready. The paint has taken quite some time to dry due to low temperature. I have attached pictures of the final product. Hope you like it

Hey Brian,
the desk looks lovely😊.
Thank you.
