Works in Wood

This page contains a selection of pages outlining some of my favourite wood working projects. The timber I have used in these pieces ranges from hard to soft wood that either grows locally or is from further afield, there’s even a few pieces made from wood grown in my own back yard.

What do I do with all the pieces I make? Well, in addition to the pieces that we keep for use in our house, I’ve also been knows to give a few of them away to friends and family as gifts and have even put a few up as prizes on Flavoursome Delights, our food and cooking site.

If you’d like to see which pieces are available as prizes you can visit the prize page here.

Children’s Activity Table

I first started thinking it might be a good idea to make an activity table when we were looking for one for my daughter to play with. We were looking for a kids table that had a storage compartment inside it for all of the art and craft supplies. Looking in the shops, we found that while there were tables available, they generally cost hundreds of dollars and weren’t really very sturdy.

Forest Oak Coasters

Perfect for use around the house or as a gift for someone special. This is how I made a set of beautiful wooden coasters from scratch with nothing more than a saw and some sandpaper.

Recycled Wooden Table Lamp

The story behind how I recycled a broken floor lamp and a hunk of tree trunk from my garden, combined them and turned them into a beautiful wooden based table lamp for my wife instead.
