Single Tree light: Antique single tree (whipple tree), used antique pint sized mason jars and candelabra sockets and bulbs.  I opened the bottoms of the mason jars to make proper light 'globes' of them.  The project works well with the 'country' theme in this home.  (Thanks for the pictures Sandie!  Nice job installing Robbie!)

Here are a few of the recent projects from the workshop.


( Winter 2014)

The old pallet is now a coffee table:


 
Refinished the wood (Tamarack / Larch / Meleze) leaving the distress marks, refurbished and sealed the metal, added wheels and increased the height to standard coffee table height.







The Pulley light:   Started with an old wooden pulley from antique sale; now it is a light.
















and the Bench:  The bench is made from a piece of timber that was from the Maple tree that used to be in the back yard.


I put on several good coats of spar varnish so it should hold up well to any weather.
