Lil Carved Ash Stump is done!! DIMS: 11” Dia. x 18” H Not ready to part w/ this piece yet, but wanted to share... Started on this back in July of 2018. Aside from initially scoring the bottom w/ chainsaw, the rest of rough shaping was all hand chiseled. Didn’t have the tool at the time to smooth it, so I threw it into storage and forgot about it... Eventually I picked up the tool I needed to revisit and finish. Holy Galahad disc by #katools was a game changer! Hoping the next carving project doesn’t take 3 years, but enjoyed the journey 😆 #reclaimed #ashwood #ashborer #stump #stumpgame #stool #plantstand #dopewood #woodcookie #woodcarving #wooddecor #woodart #modernrustic #interiordesign #brooklyn #indy #indyartist #keepindyindie #firewoodtofurniture #sourcedlocally #madesustainably #notquiteart #morethanfurniture #fromstarttostump #boardroots https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDuDuxDwW7/?igshid=1906qgc4qzwrh

Revisited this cookie coffee table project from about a year ago. The client initially wanted to avoid using bow ties which I thought was doable at the time. Unfortunately, the epoxy started to slowly split... Learned this lesson the hard way and got to work. Installed 5x bow ties on the bottom and 3x on top. Reapplied the epoxy, then lots of sanding and buffing. Had a lot of fun working on this and am really pleased with how it turned out! #reclaimed #sweetgum #coffeetable #woodcookie #dopewood #slaburday #woodwork #woodart #handmade #indy #indyartist #sourcedlocally #madesustainably #notquiteart #morethanfurniture #fromstarttostump #boardroots https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkSeNLDmIO/?igshid=1h8d0iqwroefb

Enjoyed the time over the holidays to get after these stumps and work on carving out a recess for casters. Also gave a shot at a new epoxy technique... Will be revisiting these in a few months after giving them a chance to acclimate to room temp. #progresspic #woodart #ashborer #ashwood #cookie #stump #zionsville #slaburday #woodslab #liveedge #handmade #table #modernrusticfurniture #woodwork #interiordesign #brooklyn #indy #indyartist #keepindyindie #shoplocalindy #sourcedlocally #madesustainably #morethanfurniture #fromstarttostump #boardroots https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcYewRjJyY/?igshid=4bypbsi11e73

Some “how-it’s-made” for some air-dried stumps with some checking. Starting w/ cleaning the natural lines, marking them, carving, chiseling, filing, and then sanding. The projects I most enjoy working on. More of an art than a science... But as always, #notquiteart 🤙 Sourced from Zionsville, Indiana. #ashborer #ashwood #cookie #stump #slaburday #woodslab #liveedge #handmade #table #modernrusticfurniture #woodwork #interiordesign #brooklyn #indy #indyartist #keepindyindie #shoplocalindy #sourcedlocally #madesustainably #morethanfurniture #fromstarttostump #boardroots https://www.instagram.com/p/CI8u9JvDsWm/?igshid=15vskosu826yg
