The Transformation of Wood with Silver Leaf

In this project, a wood pedestal was transformed using silver leaf to enhance its aesthetic appeal. The process involved several key steps:

Preparation of the Wood

• The surface of the pedestal was cleaned to remove dust from the surfaces.

Application of Silver Leaf

• Tools required included adhesive, a soft brush, and silver leaf.

• The adhesive was applied evenly to the smooth surface, creating a tacky finish.

• Silver leaf sheets were carefully pressed onto the pedestal, conforming to its curves and crevices.

Final Touches

• The combination of wood and silver leaf created a striking visual contrast.

• A protective finish was applied to ensure durability and longevity.

The final product is a contemporary piece that combines the organic beauty of wood with the modern elegance of silver leaf, suitable for enhancing any space. A glass top was later installed.
