Under this little tent, the tannin bed, (not to be confused with a tanning bed) lies a vanity adorned with oak (yes oak). No, it's not the sweet eighties oak that you would find in your best friends' mom's house. This oak is quartersawn and white, of which I am a fanatic. Having built many pieces in the aforementioned oak, we had never fumed anything. So we took our fuming class on the internet (the internet knows everything) and built a tannin bed. After several hours it should be nice and tan. The ammonia fumes trapped in the tent seep into the oak (loaded with tannin) darkening and deepening the color. Hence, our tannin bed. I'm anxious to see it when it comes out. Stay tuned.
Isn't this the same thing that froyd landis would sleep in to do some sweet altitude training?
ReplyDeleteWhich one? the one with the girl or the one with the ammonia?
ReplyDeletelove the smell of ammonia in the morning. take a whiffer for me.
ReplyDeleteNo, Jon, it doesn't work like that. I sneaked into the shop last week and tried sleeping in the box to get fast like Floyd...well, lets just say I woke up feeling reeeaally good, and it actually improved my downhilling ability (as I could no longer actually see straigh) but slow on the ups and flats
ReplyDeletedan, were you in the box with sarah?
