TIL about ulm stools. Thanks!! The purpose of this one is to lift a CPU off the ground because one of our cats sprayed it. Really, it's just an excuse to make something

 

Finished two simple projects to blow off steam and get back to woodworking with random boards and scraps laying around.

Left is a mini table made from 13" rosewood board and my first attempt at miter cuts and biscuits. 18" tall and 20" wide. For those that didn't know, rosewood's color will continue to depend with age so I look forward to see what it looks like in a few years.

Right is a basic cutting board made with a bunch of scraps from various cherry and walnut projects. Been laying in the garage for more than a year. Still have more but got tired of ripping. Both finished with Odie's oil.

Ah, the smell of freshly burnt bugs. We once had a giant moth catch on fire which shot several inches above the top of the lamp and set off the smoke detector. The apartment reeked for days.

Thanks! I completely get it. I'm kinda tired of epoxy everywhere but I love a little accent here and there. I filled a decent sized void in a rosewood console table with copper epoxy. The contrast of copper and rose is beautiful yet organic. Most people don't notice it's epoxy.

I use Odie's oil on most of my projects, including this one. I like the ease of application and the way it pulls out the grain of woods

 

Cheap cherry slabs with black epoxy. The top is boring but I love the way the front turned out. Drawers are lined with red velvet and have black steel pulls.
