End Table With Wireless chargingHere is my submission for the builders challenge season 7 : an end table from spalted poplar with wireless charging and an epoxy inlay. I had fun FINALLY using epoxy in a woodworking project. I was very standoffish when it came to the epoxy playing such a large role in the woodworking world, because i am an old soul and i feel that woodworking should be done with WOOD. But i put my prejudices aside and gave it a shot and i'm pretty happy with the results. If you would like to see the full build you can click the link here : http://bit.ly/wirelessendtableSpoiler alert, i didnt win the challenge ;) but i always enjoy entering and learning new things!

PAUL BUNION BOOT - Douglas Fir, Old House Salvage Wood

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


PAUL BUNION BOOT - Douglas Fir, Old House Salvage WoodA couple of summers ago while finishing a home renovation for a friend, one of the painters knew that I dabbled in boot carving, brought me a a chunk of Douglas fir that was once a main beam in the house they were working on. This house was old and the beam was a good 6 inches by 6 inches. The other clue as to its age was it's friability.
As I cut out the boot blanks i knew things had to be handled with care. The wood was quite porous. The carving was like carving butter but I did not quit as I had too much respect for the wood and this over-sized work boot is a monument to the tree that produced this wood some 100 years passed.The boot is for the right foot and a swelling on the big toe gave it's name.Enjoy!
The Bootman!
