We can’t help but love every video and sadistic project taken on by TotalBoat Ambassador, Paul Jackman. His love for pallets and upcycling forgotten wood is a labor of love and something Paul takes to the next level – or – as his followers know – to “Jackman Size.” When he poured over 200 hours and a bunch of TotalBoat into this amazing wavy vase project, we knew it would be a winner. Knot and nail holes were filled with our 5:1 Epoxy and then he coated the whole thing in our Wood Sealer. The Wood Sealer was then coated with a sprayed on 6 coats of Halcyon Varnish, a durable, water-based varnish that’s easy to apply and easy to clean up. The Wavy Vase, as Jackman puts it, “mimic[s] nature, due to its clearly defined pattern, but also its slight inconsistencies due to it being carved by hand. It’s supposed to be busy, but organized at the same time. And it’s supposed to be at least slightly insane, much like its creator.” We think all of this insanity is completely worthwhile, especially in the face of a pretty crazy world. Thanks to Paul Jackman for some Jackman-sized levity.
