OT - Off Season Wood Project / February Blues
Hello all,
I try to beat the winter blues with a project or two. This year I decided to make a coffee table for my cottage with raw wood using as few tools as possible (chainsaw/sanders, glue and a paintbrush) with all of the materials coming from my bow hunting property (with the owners permission).
I started with a trunk block of oak and cut several plates - I found out just how difficult it is to cut a straight piece with a chainsaw.
Then the sanding and piecing the top together;
And more sanding - Then the urethane (26 coats in total)
I went for a long walk on my hunting property and found a nice stump for a base. I cleaned it up with more sanding and urethane;
Last night I joined the two for a finished product;
60 days till turkey opener~!
Cheers,
Robin

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

I'm not showing that to my wife We live in an 1100 sq. ft. cabin and she would insist on me attempting something similar to go with the log walls.
Yours is a unique and outstanding piece of furniture. Congratulations !
