Father’s Day Gift
Atlas Obscura offers a look at a stranger collection of books. These books are housed at Padua University and are made entirely from wood:
Logging and Sawmill Operations in California – 1940s Forest Documentary
Logging and Sawmill Operations in California – 1940s Forest Documentary – A glimpse into the Redwood timber process.
Bent wood salad tongs
Who doesn’t like a nice pair of hand crafted wooden salad tongs? These elegant salad tongs are handmade using a bent wood technique that creates a natural spring.
Rustic Coffee Table
I have long been a proponent of recycling wood – and when a friend of mine said they wanted a rustic coffee table I jumped at the chance to use some reclaimed barn boards to craft a new coffee table.
Bathroom Cabinet
For as long as I can remember there has been an old wooden cabinet in the corner of the bathroom of the family home. Readers of my articles may have caught a glimpse of the cabinet when I looked at making bridle joints.
In this article I revisit that cabinet and re-create it by up-cycling an old 8’ x 1½” x 10” scaffolding plank.
Wormy Maple Side Table
Wormy Maple Side Table:
As a woodworker and very avid ‘upcycler’, I am always loathed to see wood go to waste. So, when a friend said they had some ‘wormy’ maple they couldn’t use, I just had to have it. Instantly, I knew that I wanted to make something with it that would show off the worm holes, creating a beautifully organic effect in the piece.
