Book Ends - Red Gum

[Sir Stinkalot]

The following book ends are as a result of the woodworking clubs half yearly project (further projects can be found in a post in the club section). We were given a lump of timber and we could make anything from it.

I ended up with some red gum which is a fine timber but somewhat difficult to work at times. The design was a bit on the fly given I only had a weekend before the project was due. The box joint ends were done on the Incra and then stained with U-beaut water based dyes before gluing back together.

The intention wasn't to have a highly carved animal but more of a contemporary hard edge. Overall I am fairly happy.

Thanks for looking.

Stinky.
