I build many styles and versions of these tables and benches as well as chairs, bedroom sets,livingroom sets,kitchen sets and other log and willow furniture and generally give them to family and friends for gifts. This often ticks my wife off as she feels i could probobly make pretty good money from them but my passion is giving them to people for gifts and seeing thier reactions. Usually it is quite a good reaction such as shock and surprise which tickles me and pleases me. I use lee valley round tenon cutter for the joinery as well as some dowling and air nailer. All the wood and logs are either beetle/bug killed, reclaimed or recycled as well as clippings from my own yard maintenence. Recycling and reusing materials is important to me as i feel a need to limit the refuse and litter i contribute to the enviroment as well as i like to use dead or natually killed products rather than killing growing or living trees. I just started carving and using a scroll saw so i intend to incorporate this also into my future projects.
