This is just half a lump of log, Black Poplar I think, from a nearby church. Not meant to be good [that's just as well], just a bit of a doodle really, it will sit in the garden with a plant pot on it.

I thought the dark marking within the wood rather helped this one:

Another tray made out of cherry and oak faced mdf this time, a maple and sapele tealight holder, an oak and iroko box.

nothing too complicated for my skill level .

Looks excellent! Thumbs up for the attention to detail you've shown with things like the quarter round bead in the tool tray.

Cordy: love the table!
XY: love the chair!
n0legs: thanks!

Love it - I think my son will be getting something similar before the end of the year!!

This was the last major task, our kitchen. Used 18mm ply for the carcasses, American Popular for the doors / drawers. Took some time to finish

Freaking love that worktop =D> =D>

Just finished this 5 string fretless bass. The body is made from Black Walnut, with a Black Limba bookmatched top. The neck is Maple, with an Ebony fingerboard.

 

[MattR]

Fab looking bass

 

[NazNomad]

100% ''upcycled'' timber.

 

[thetyreman]

@simo, another amazing bass, you should be proud of that

 

[Austinisgreat]

Fantastic work Simo! Is the pick-up a piezzo under the bridge, or buried between the walnut / limba sandwich?

Beautiful guitar, well done.

Cheers

Thanks very much. There's no magnetic pickups, each individual bridge saddle has a piezo transducer fitted, they're connected to a GraphTech preamp/buffer, with a volume control and mid/dark eq swtich.

I am totally tone deaf but keep getting the urge to build a guitar. That looks superb Simo.

I like that bench too Naz and it's more likely i'd build something like that than a gee-tar. Is it out of your head, or did you have a plan to work from?

 

[OM99]

Simo, awesome guitar love the grain of the wood.

Naznomad, great "upcycling", would go well on my deck . (just realised it will be hanged)

If you got some plans for it, would love a copy .
