Small Rustic side table




Rustic stool - I collected pieces of rhododendron timber from my local wood and made it into the little side table as shown. I have never collected raw timber to use for woodwork before so I was interested to see how the timber reacted as I worked it. It was very interesting to discover the way it dries, how the grain changes direction, how it moves as it is glued up etc. So I felt it was a very worthwhile exercise - I learned a lot from the experience and can recommend it.
