Bedside Table #1

Bedside Table #1Hi:Next in my series of Wine Barrel furniture, I have a bedside table I've made for my Daughter-in-law for Christmas. Soon to follow will be a matching table for her husband (my son).This is a quirky little table that kind-of looks like a cartoon robot. But is is solid and sturdy and full of character.The top is constructed from a disassembled barrel lid, from which, after re-glueing and hand planing, I managed to produce a beautiful surface. Some of the boards have a distinctive 1/4 sawn appearance. White oak, of coarse.The legs are from barrel stave, in this case from a red wine barrel.The drawer enclosure is made from box-jointed baltic birch covered with resawn 2/4 white oak, again, highly figured.The drawer itself is also a box-jointed assembly, and the face of the drawer is made from laminated barrel staves, revealing the barrel bung hole.All the fasteners were screws. The table can be disassembled if need be.As I have stated in the past, working with wine barrel wood presents a number of challenges that require me to improvise, with interesting and delightful results.Enjoy!Bill Judt

Ornament for attic window

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Ornament for attic windowI made this to go in the window above the garage.Its a simple plywood box, painted white on the inside and black on the outside. The lettering and dove were sketched onto the front and cut out with the scroll saw.It is lit with 2 sets of battery powered LED lights. The individual lights are glued into holes drilled in the back with the wires on the outside. They automatically turn on for 6 hours and off for 18.Glued onto the inside surface of the front are sheets of plain white paper to serve as a projection screen and to prevent the lights form showing.Simple and quick.

Reclaimed Pallet Wood Headboard & Stands

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Reclaimed Pallet Wood Headboard & StandsMy wife said she would love to have a pallet wood headboard. I liked the idea so I began. I glued and tacked the pallet wood slats to a piece of 1/4” plywood with a 2×4 frame. I painted the 2×4's and plywood black before adding slats to help camouflage the gaps in the slats.
