Bedside table...

We all make stuff other than pipes, so here's a place where "anything goes" as far as showing off some of your projects and other hobbies.

Bedside table...

Post by JMG »

I'm not a wood worker by any means and this is the first furniture'ish thing I've ever made so it has a lot of room for improvement. However, it was a lot of fun to make and I learned a lot. I really, really enjoy woodworking.

It's just that middle section.


Thanks, everybody.

Wood species?
Not sure I want my hobby to turn into my job largely because I grow to hate my job....

It's a local wood here in PNG they call it "Kwila." I googled it and this is the first link I saw:http://www.thetimbersource.co.nz/By-Spe ... Asia/Kwila

It's really strong stuff. We actually just replaced a truck bed that rusted out with nothing but kwila.

Your finish could use a bit more time on the buffing wheel for sure.

Just kidding I like it.
