Live Edge Angle Accents

What else does one call these little objects? Hardwood cutoffs, sanded, oiled... useless but lovely.

Reclaimed Oak Bookends

These modern, angular bookends came from oak pallet 4x4′s. Sanded & oiled with a beeswax mineral oil.

Oak Herringbone Top

I made this table top out of a pile of mixed (white, red, yellow) oak trailer-decking cut-offs (butcher block style). Piecing it together was a challenge but I’m quite pleased with how it turned out in the end!

Ok, I’m proud of this piece! It’s a primitive style Corner Hutch Mini Bar (commissioned by Paul Quinlivan) and made from reclaimed 1/2″ thick pine sub floor. I sourced the material from the Ballard Reuse- it was found underneath a hardwood floor during a demo. Years of use gave the wood some really cool ripples, nail rot, and paint splatters- yet the structural integrity of the wood remained. The trim is circle cut old-growth fir, which gives it even more character and color variation. After assembly I sanded it with 100 grit and conditioned the wood with an oil / wax to bring out the warmth and draw it together aesthetically. I’ve never had to do so much math in a wood-working project!
