I have been having so much fun working at the ACT wood craft guild and at the same time producing some fun wood creations. I have shard some of my items from the ‘introduction to wood working’ workshop earlier on this blog.

Since then I’ve participated in a furniture workshop in which I’ve built a small side table. I have learned that you can’t enclose wood as it needs space to move- that is expand when it needs to, so to carry out my design I had to learn parquetry. The piece in the middle of the table top, is glass. The difference in colour between the two images is due to the finishing touch which is coating. I would have a photo of the whole finished table when I get around to coating the legs.

The next post will be about my first steps with wood turning. stay tuned.
