My latest wood works

I’ve been busy with my coffee table adventure and here is the result:

It was complicated and I wouldn’t have been able to get anywhere without the help of the Furniture Sig in the woodcraft guild, Canberra.

In addition I continued with turning and got some absolutely beautiful things. Here are some:

These items will be up for sale at the botanical garden Canberra when the Woodcraft Guild will have its annual exhibition in October 2025.

Some more wood craft

I’ve been turning for some time now and the tools start to feel more familiar and less scary. The results I think show. More bowels, boxes and plates. The largest so far is this beautiful camphor laurel that smells like nothing else. Some people love the smell, I don’t. But it’s too beautiful to miss out on.

It’s a variety of timbers: Olive tree, Tasmanian Oak, Pine, Box Elder, Bush plum and more.

I’ve also finally finished my decorative shelves unit:

This how my wall looks like now. A burst of creativity.

I hope it will not be too long before my next post.

My wood craft journey – cont.

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.
