I'm really growing with my woodwork. And like creating things a bit unusual. This was finished a while back. But thought I'd share it here. Feel free to share anything creative if you'd like.
My latest wooden creation.

Thanks, woodwork has helped me to focus my energy. Its a very worthwhile pursuit.Pretty beautiful.
Thinking to get into wood work too…tried it a few times as it’s my father’s trade and it’s a flow inducing activity for me. I just log out of everything and lose touch with time.
What better remedy for busy minds?

Beautiful work there - I like your fusion of design ideas and the execution looks top notch. I ran my own furniture making business for fifteen years. It's hard work. I gave up to become a wheel builder - much less chance of planing your hand off!
Here is my latest woodwork creation. Very much at the other end of the scale... The entirely scavenged shed: pallets, sleepers from a skip and OSB, kingspan and corrugated roofing from the tip.

An amazing creation @videojetman . I wish I had a few of those skills. Like @wynne , a lot of my stuff starts as pallets. Buckingham Pallet just made me choke on my beer! Anyhow, don’t tell him as it is a surprise. Here’s a trophy I have made for my son who scored his first “5 For” a few weeks ago.
The base is made from the blocks in pallets. Does anyone know what type of wood this is? Light and dark in the same piece. It is a hardwood of some sort. The stacked pieces in the background are from the same pallet.

Nice work with the trophy.
Most pallets are coniferous/softwood though I notice there is quite a lot of variation. Some of that will come from them drying out with age. Also some pallets are chemically treated to preserve them - and are generally best avoided (especially for use as kindling).

Nice work
of late, I’ve been watching loads of furniture restoration channels on you tube. I don’t have the skills but it’s fascinating to watch.

I too am a fan of pallet “ repurposing” my latest project is a “” wheelie bin caddy” early days yet but after a slow start it’s getting there. So as not to derail this thread I’ll start a new thread.
