Finished! 🙂 Huge thanks to my client on this one, for trusting me with building something special, being so patient while I finished it, and helping out with this little photo shoot today. 🙏
Lots to learn building this bed, first time I've worked with a slab (and flattened it with hand planes), and the first time I've made Bowtie splines and used resin to stabilise a crack.

Pretty happy with the result.
It's designed to take a fairly thick mattress which will bridge the gap between the slats and bottom of the head board, so that amazing Camphor Laurel slab will stand out. 👌

Just look at that Camphor Laurel! Such an interesting grain pattern throughout this slab. Getting to the final stages of...

Just look at that Camphor Laurel! Such an interesting grain pattern throughout this slab. Getting to the final stages of this bed now, so excited to see this come alive when it gets oiled. 🙂👌

Just delivered the Jarrah gardening bench to a VERY happy winner of the Halo charity auction. What a lovely lady! The bench will be well utilised, potting all her beautiful plants and flowers. 🙂🌼🌿

Thank you to everyone who shared and helped spread the word, and supported the fundraiser. Also I had to put a couple of other jobs on hold to get the bench made for Halo, and really appreciate how understanding my clients are, very patiently waiting for me to finish their orders. Thank you so much! 🙏 🌻

I never get tired of seeing the transformation some oil makes to this old jarrah! Most of the this timber was saved from a scrap heap after a 60+ year old house was demolished nearby. So much life in it still.

Frame taking shape for this Jarrah gardening bench I am making for a local charity here in Mandurah. HALO are hosting a gardening sale this Sunday to raise much needed funds for the local homeless. There will be all sorts of plants and gardening items for sale, as well as food and coffee vendors, so spread the word to the gardeners in your world. I will post a link to the event in the comments. The bench is built to last from recycled Jarrah, and will be available to purchase at the HALO sale. More pics to come as it progresses. 🙂

Just finished a cool little project for a cool little cafe, just opened in Mandurah. Pop in and see the friendly crew at The Foreshore Cafe Mandurah for some great coffee, food and beautiful views. 👌🙂

The trouble with trying to build something "properly", is often you spend a lot of time working on things that for the most part won't be seen. Like these support rails I spent all day yesterday on, made from old roofing jarrah, ready to hold up 34 slats I spent another day making from old pine. This is going to be one solid bed!

Naaww she's a pretty bit of wood this one! Bowtie splines and resin filling done, lots of sanding to do and then time to build a jarrah bed frame to put it all together. Takes time but can't wait to see it all finished. 👌

I'm not typically a Bowtie kinda man, but the occasion called for it in this case. Finicky things they are... Look sharp though don't you think?
