This is my wood shop where I go to get away from whatever it may be at the time. It stays pretty messy most of the time with sawdust everywhere. I've slowly been adding tools to it. the table saw was first about 5 years ago I got it for Christmas.
I got these cypress timbers off of a job I did a few years ago. I had no clue what I would do with them. Then one day I bought a planer for my shop and this is what happened.
I sawed and planed those timbers into boards and glued them all together to make a wood bench. I had to buy wood glue by the gallon and some extra clamps to hold it all together.
This is another bench that I am working on. It may be one of the last ones because I'm running out of long timbers.
Then I went and bought some teak oil to treat the wood. I think it turned out really nice. What do ya'll think? I had to bring it in the office to treat it because the can said "do not use if the temp is over 95 and it was yesterday.
This is a pic of the many grains together on top.
You get that talent from your Papa. He use to take scraps and trun them into our treasures. Is that my bench? Remember I still want one :)
