    Oak Block Windfall

    I made some floor lamps out of similar stock. I got some strip steel and made it into right angled lengths and fixed in place with some steel slot headed screws. In other words, make a feature of the splits.

    What woodworking did you do today?

    Made one of my redneck bottle openers as a gift for a mate. A scrap of beech, a nail and a bit of finish. Must've made a dozen or so as giveaways.
