Been a slow-ish start to the year so far. The treasure chest project has kept me busy doing mental backflips to figure out joinery. Glad I took it on though, it has been a healthy challenge. I haven’t made time to do much else other than a trivet for some friends who will be taking very good care of us while we are in Japan.
The trivet is probably my most technically perfect piece so far. I got the tile idea from youtuber. The wood is leftover cypress from the outdoor plant stand backed with some leftover walnut from a picture frame. I loved the way it turned out, and expect to see more project with this effect. I’ve always loved geometric shapes, but only as long as they weren’t too noisy. I’ve got some ideas for a bookcase we need in the bedroom that will replace the one slowly falling apart we have now.
I’d also like to build a curio cabinet to hold the Uranium Glass collection that I don’t even own yet. I’ve always loved glow in the dark stuff, and this would be a perfect way to showcase some cool items.
