Sanding, moulding and wet-sanding, in three short clips. Every surface in them is still unfinished — this is the part of the work that never appears in a product photograph.
Three clips of the same floor at three different stages. The first is a table base being shaped: the form is still soft enough to change by hand, and the wires standing in it hold the line while it does.
The second clip is a form sitting in its frame, gone over with a hand tool. It is a stage about surface rather than shape — the profile is already decided, and what happens here is the last work on it before any finish goes near the piece.
The third is the largest surface of the three: a slab with blue and orange flecks through it, worked down with water and gloved hands. Water runs over it the whole time, and the flecks are what the eye follows while the hand goes round the edge.
Nothing in the three clips is finished, which is what the film is for: everything in the catalogue is made on a floor like this one first.
