A few projects made from waste wood

[EddieJ]

Here are a few projects that I've made using oak destined to either go on the fire, or has already been on the fire and I've grabbed it back off.

 

This was today's project..

 

The legs and lower ledge are 5" x 5" the top is three planks of 2" air dried oak, and the 1" and 1/2" dowel I make my self from air dried oak.

 

 

 

This is a previous one that I made using 3" thick Douglas as a top.

 

 

 

 

I'll add some more waste wood projects shortly.

Nice work Eddie. I love the colour of douglas fir. I once made a fence out of douglas fir planks stained with boiled linseed oil...it looks great

Here is a simple radiator table that I made for the mum-in-law just before Xmas. Again made from waste oak.

 

 

 

And this was a little pot stand come bench that I made as a freebie for a client to go inside of the porch that I had made.

The douglas top has been really good. The bench is down on our veg plot, so is outside all year round, and it hasn't moved a bit. I'd highly recommend both Douglas and equally larch to anyone.

 

I made this little fella about two weeks ago. Again made from waste oak, this time 2" slab wood for the body, and 1" for everything else.

Take one grubby bit of slab wood..

 

 

Clean it up and work on it a bit and this is the result.. One simple bench.

 

 

 

 

The legs are just temporary.

Some great stuff there. It's making my lust for a mill worse!

Thanks Arborholic.

 

This bit of oak had been laying against the side of a bank down a back lane for about the last four years. It would get knocked by various cars, but always stayed where it was, until last summer when I decided that I could do something with it.

 

Ultimately it is destined to become another bench, but I want to use stainless steel to make single pole legs for it.

 

 

After scraping the worst off of it, I had it sand blasted.
