What Can You Make From A 2x4 Board?
Rik:
Well done, Gill. I really am not surprised, but I am chuffed for you. :thumbs:
Clive:
That must give you a warm glow Gill. :D
Rodders:
Dead brill, Gill! I hope you'll encourage the use of drinks coasters with it. Is each leg comprised of a single piece?
My dad was a cabinet maker and would have really enjoyed this. He made me a coffee table with a top made from 3/4" multicoloured strips of Parana Pine he'd collected. A stylish but otherwise unassuming piece, it contained many different shades of greens, pinks, greys, etc., and was often remarked upon by visitors.

It certainly is :) . I compound cut it on a scroll saw, and here's a 'work in progress' photo:
When all the cuts are complete, the outer waste wood falls away to reveal the inner shape. It's exactly the same technique that I used to make a tree-full of Christmas decorations:
Believe it or not, I've had other woodworkers asking me if I want to sell them my coffee table!
Rodders:
I trust you told them to get knotted?
