Wood Shortener
A low stool/side table for the living room made from some pine salvaged from a piano that had been skipped. I based the shape on an old Gibson plectrum I used to use as a teenager (the only genuine Gibson thing I could afford).

Yes, that’s how I laid it out. The radius on the points bears a suspicious resemblance to a WD40 can.
I’ve always been fascinated with these shapes after my grandad showed me how you can roll a book across the top of a 50p piece.

very nice take on the three legged stool mike, being a guitarist I can't help liking it, nicely executed.

Big bookcase with sliding glass doors (yet to be fitted):
2mm bandsaw Oak veneers over a laminated pine substrate, to hold very large 'coffee table' type books and big photo albums. The stand is exactly co-planar with the bottom of the bookcase so it tucks in flush with the skirting board. 25mm thick shelf, finish is two brush applied coats of Osmo Polyx with Alfie Shine on top - Rob

Another 3 legged stool, all in Oak, with burnt legs, this one is for "perching" on, originally I saw a version made by Chris Schwarz, then another version by a young lady, Alice Blogg, the style of which I preferred, so credits to them both.
I use it when working at the bench vice, and generally when I just need to take a rest for a minute.

Inspired by Ron Aylor and reading Peter Follansbee's book, Joiners Work, here's a box that I've just finished. It's all Oak and glue, no nails or screws just Oak dowels. It measures approx. 17" long by 10" wide and 5" high by 5/8ths thick. Finished with a coat of Danish Oil and then buffed up with Woodwax 22.

Very nice - especially the carving, not too perfect which imho is a good thing. The whole thing with it's "not perfect" joint's and a little bit of tearout here and there, to my view puts this box (small chest?) very much in the camp of one of a kind collectibles and crafted items, a style popular in America, (can't remember the name) that were made by "normal people" not known craftsmen, and are much sought after by "pickers".
I also like that you left the top plain - I think carving that as well would have spoiled it.
It'll prolly turn up on antiques roadshow in a couple hundred years, so you'd best sign it
