Carpenter, cabinetmaker, woodcarver, joiner, The French use the term menuiser to describe all these crafts. I feel that this term fits what I do on several levels. Though I do not consider myself French in the true sense of the word. I am Franco Ontarian. But that is another story. I use wood as my primary material to build the furniture that I design.This blog is about my process.

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.
