This is a post of some stuff around the house, I don’t really know where to put this stuff in our social media posts. So here it is to look over and read at your leisure.
[tree swings] we needed some tree swings to pass the time on warm days, I found some scrap boards and with a little sanding and some holes drilled we where ready to go.
[hickory bench] I was given this thick piece of hickory, after thinking about it and trying to figure out something I could make with it. I settled on the minimal work option, I found some steel legs online. After sanding and adding finish I was ready to screw the legs on, my coffee drinking and booking reading would be at an all time with this new furniture piece added to my arsenal.
[the coffee table] this was from a tree in our front yard that was dead, after it was cut down the stump was there for several years. One day I decided to cut some “cookies” off the remaining stump and let them dry out, once cut I think they dried out for 3 years. Last year(2024) I finally got around to sanding and adding finish to one of the cookies. I have a friend who turned the legs on his lathe for me, the table top is maple and the legs are cherry in case anyone is interested in the details.
