Now that EVE is wrapping up and I have returned from work in Melbourne, I thought i should start to update everyone on a few things I’ve been up to.
This is the new Backwoods bench. Because in the past a lot of the things I’ve been making have taken a small army to move around, I decided it was time to start working on some more manoeuvrable furniture. This little guy is 1m long, 39cm high and 29cm deep. Easy to transport and easy to move around the house. The idea was to use tight hard lines to make a small, solid, contemporary bench. The frame is made of 96 small hardwood blocks milled down from recycled floor joists and stuck together. The seat top is made from a retired Iron Bark telephone pole cross arm milled into boards. No screws, nails or bolts were used in its fabrication. Enquire within if you would like to add the ‘Telephones on the Floor’ bench to your home.
