Been Busy

[Harbo]

Spent a couple of days planing up some sawn English oak planks ready for a couple of projects - generated plenty of shavings!:

Big ones are 1.5m x 250mm. I cut them roughly to size last Autumn and waited for some nice weather.

What are you making

 

[Harbo]

A DVD storage unit and a TV/multimedia cabinet - should be really using veneered MDF but I like real wood.

You just can't best using real wood. When ever I've got something to make, I try and get the best timber available from where I work............ thats available free of course! :lol: I don't do paying for timber.....!

that is some lovely looking oak, I am really getting into working with quality stuff after the last project and am negotiating with a client over an 8 foot long 3 inch thick dining table he wants. I really want to make it, but of course oak like that does not come cheap so he is umming and ahhing about it (understandably).

Rob - that was just for the photo. Also taken late afternoon when the sun was low and weak.
Now properly tucked away in the dark for a week or two.
Anyway this lovely weather won't last much longer - it is only March
