My latest project




A couple of months ago we went to an estate sale where I picked up some rough cut cedar boards. I didn't know what I was goint to make out of them. They sat on the shop floor till I was inspired. Well I made this bench. The top is the cedar. I planed the top but left the sides the their natural state. You can see the worm holes where the worms craled between the bark and wood. The legs are made from red oak which was given to me a couple of years ago. The wedges in the leg tops holding the seat on are made from walnut which my son gave me for Christmas. I've been spending a lot of time in the shop latley. Its a good place to be on cold winter days.
