Saw this -- not sure where ?

Made this from off-cuts

Might try Kokopelli for research Cordy.

Cordy, you realise that the Kokopelli is a fertility symbol? :-D

My latest turning! The Ash lower bowl blank was being binned by a pal as it had a massive crack in it. Nothing some imagination and an offcut of Spalted Beech couldn't fix! The upper bowl (which I blew through the bottom of, and needed to find a way to use it, which started this project!) and finialed post are Sycamore.

That's really quite nice! Didn't think it would be [IMHO] until I saw the profile. And that was a great rescue too.

[devonwoody]

[Phil Pascoe]

You have a PM.

Seat for the swing is done, now to let the oil dry and mount it on the pergola:

Don't laugh... I made some of these years ago and needed another one.

Built it at the front of the house and forgot I'd installed a covered gateway since I built the last ones.

Guess what plonker now has to take it ¼ mile to get it to the back of the house because it won't fit through the gate?

 

[skipdiver]

Some nice rustic work there Dennis and Naz. I'm partial to a bit of rustic garden furniture and hope to make a couple of Adirondack chairs when i get time to do so.

Mrs. memzey wanted a medicine cabinet to keep all the calpol etc. in one place (you accumulate a lot of "just in case" meds with three daughters). What Mrs. memzey wants, Mrs. memzey gets. Small cabinet from Sapele with oak drawer sides. Finish is 3 coats of Garnett Shellac followed by 3 coats of BLO and some wax:

My first use of dovetails in a project:

She is pleased so I am pleased. The design was inspired by something Mike Pekovich put together for a FWW article a few months back but adapted for my taste/needs.

 

[Fitzroy]

That's a great little cabinet! Sort of thing the inspires/motivates me to make furniture. You could/would have spent hours trawling shops/internet for something similar but never precisely what you wanted, instead you've been able to make something to your needs/taste with splendid quality to boot!

All credit to you Memzey.

It's great to see people actually making real furniture, making it well, and pushing themselves to tackle new techniques like dovetailing. You've done a fine job there.
