From The bench

New work from my bench

I have had this idea for some time to reconstruct logs into seating, small stools, benches or even side tables.

This is the first go. The cast aluminum legs are from another piece that I was unhappy with. I thought that they looked good on this stump.

I am working on a red stump and an acid yellow stump as well. I rescued plastic legs from a dumpster near the studio for the yellow stump. The red job will get legs made of wood. I have not really worked out the fine details yet.

I hope to have more images of this project soon.

I think that this idea is worth exploring further.

Owens Side Table

Owens Side Table is glued up

Here is an image of the case for O’s Bedside table. I still need to cut drawers and fit them. I hope to have time this week to work on that part.
I just picked up a Uni Saw that I am installing in a shop space next door. A Lee Valley bench that I got at the same time made its way to the Studio. It’s nice to have another rock solid work surface.
