Hello, I have been very busy with wood work over the past months. Here is one of the results. As I am on a restricted budget I have been doing a lot of recycling of timber, everything from dressed pallet timber to cedar trim from demolisions and off cuts from a furniture maker.
This is my table, just waiting the finishing touches. It is made from water resistant chipboard, rose wood edging strip with red cedar angle trim as final edging. the stretcher bar is red cedar, just need a trim arount the stretcher joints. The $2 coin inlay is the year date This was my second project with the guidance of Hamish at the Sheilas Shed at Kempsey.
I am currently making a Drop Side table for my daughters balcony will post pic's soon with discription.

Jocelyn, I like the edging strip as it makes it stand out so to speak and the use of recycled wood. Well done

Yo ho ho and a you know what I mean,

your Dining table is brilliant! The use of yellow tongue flooring prompts many projects I'm sure in the minds of those that lurk!
Many a time I have been asked to build bookshelves from solid timber, lots of wood you know! My suggestion to the frugal is to use the almost indestructible yellow tongue, cuts the price down to zilch! Faced with whatever makes an interesting mix.
Books you know cover most of the detail but I don't mind it anyway!

Jocelyn, you have more balls than most of the blokes I know, Good onya!

Sorry about the ball reference, I've been told off about that recently.

Kind regards,

Oddjob1

Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments. I am presently making a drop side table from timber from the sides of an old dray. It has a single turned leg from a bed head. The base is an iron umbrella base!!!!!! Will post pics when it's finished :no:

It makes you wonder how chipboard and MDF can be used in contemporary furniture.

This is a sensational example of how it can blend in without looking cheap or tacky. I love it, and would love to experiment. Great eyeopener this thread.

There is a place for all timbers in woodworking and you have demonstrated that admirably here. Well done.:2tsup:

That's great, I've often used clear painted chipboard, but not as you have, you've nailed it. :2tsup: As for recycled timber, go at it, 95% of what I use is recycled, nail holes and all. It adds character

I look forward to your next project.
