Footstool by Mikael Arvola
Black walnut footstool finished with blonde shellac. I used maple for the wedges to add a little contrast. The first piece of furniture I’ve made.
Workbench by Tony Maund
The primary wood is Finnish Oak and Birch. The side vice is Araputanga , the cap on the tail vice is Walnut the tool tray ramp is spalted birch and lastly the caps on the vice handles are Alder. All the primary woods were from trees I harvested and milled over the last few years – all the wood is air dried to about 8% The total cost of this project was under $100 (the wood was free, apart from a lot sweat and swearing) This design is based on the Frank Klausz articles in several FWW publications over the years. The dimensions are 84” x 27” x 36” and apart from thicknessing the boards with my planer, all the rest of the build was using hand tools – this was a real treat, with lots of shavings, no dust or noise. The construction of the base is much heavier, than stated in the articles, plus I used through tenons which were wedged using beech wedges. The feet and top support are 3 3/4” square oak (just to give some idea for the scale) The total weight of the project is around 440lb (200kg)
