For the love of 'off cuts'
The good and bad aspect to woodworking is off cuts. The bad is that you want to finish a project with zero waste and unfortunately that is an impossibility. So where to from here? I have a lovely fire pit in my backyard, but the idea of condemning this beautiful resource to a fiery end doesn't sit well with me. The other option is what gives 'off cuts' their magic.

Introducing the new 3 bears
There's a new family in town. The delightful 3 bears is a nest of milking stool style occasssional tables. Made from the same recylced blue gum bar top as all my latest projects. Strong enough to be handy stools and cute enough to take pride of place in any decor. Currently for sale at the Eclectic Mix in Wynnum.
