I made this bowl in Brown Oak, with a raised cup to hold an egg. There are two chicks “hatched” made from Holly and Yew.
The other eggs are made from Yew, Sepele, Purple Heart, Banksia, American Walnut, Chestnut with Purple Heart, Chestnut, and Silver Birch.

Hello. I just finished making and installing these oak floating picture shelves as a gift for a family member. They are made from scraps I was given as I don’t have a lot of money for tools or materials so I mostly recycle.
I used a hand plane to joint all the pieces and glued them up to form a larger piece suitable for a the shelf. A small borrowed router was used to cut the V groove.
They are not perfect but I am pleased and more importantly is the person for whom they were made.

A small bowl made in Ancient or Swamp Kauri. The yellow and green wood is 3860 years old and is a very unusual example as it has ‘whitebait’ streaks running through it. It was produced from the core of a much larger bowl made for me by Rick Taylor in New Zealand just before Christmas.
It’s wet and dry sanded to 1500g and finished with three coats of shellac and raw linseed oil, burnished between each coat with 0000 grade wire wool.

This is a garden reading nook I built & just finally got the round door done & on. I primarily used cedar & built it in a curve around the front of a tree. The straight walls are slanted to a comfortable seating angle & inside there is a super comfy Adirondack/Muskoka style seat with storage. The windows are acrylic plastic. The roof is cedar shingled. I lined the ceiling inside with the left over scrap. I have never done building or shingling before so (acknowledging many, MANY lessons learned) I’m pretty happy - no leaks!
As I am limited to one image as a new user I chose this one as it gives you a good overall view of the roof and shape.

With spring approaching, our client commissioned us to design and make a 5m Bonsai Bench for his back garden. It comprises 78 Iroko components repeatedly machined using a planer and ‘thicknesser’ as well as a table saw for precise assembly to the millimetre.
Finished with Teak oil.
