CREATION
These pieces of furniture were designedandbuiltbymyself.
The river table was the most difficult. After going wood shopping, I purchased some resin, and began building a mold. This mold was very difficult to build the first time, after it was set, I used a planartogetthesurfacesflat.
The bench was a gift to a family member. Using a dremel, I sanded thesidesuntiltheyweresmooth,as well as navigating the issue of different heights across the uneven wood.
The end-table was built out of upcycledbarnbeam.Theywerecut, and then oil and sand were applied formodernization.
These designs were all sold as furnitureatmyonlinestore. Project No.

The sequence of images shows parts of mycreationprocess,fromtheinitialplan, to the construction. Other elements not included are the sketches, and measurements. The shed itself is built out of pressurised pinewood. The main constructioninvolvedscrews.
This project taught me about load bearing. As well as a clearer understanding of wood and its 3D interactionswithitself.
