A number of years ago my oldest daughter brought a home with some pretty ugly Teak countertops and asked if I wanted the wood and of course I didn’t say no.A couple of years ago I saw an article in a woodworking magazine for this garden bench, I thought what a great idea for some of the Teak. In the pictures you can see not only the bench, but a shower seat that I made for another daughter and a shower shelf that I made for one my granddaughters. Sometimes all I get is a picture of something that someone would like me to build and I have to figure out how to make it. I will post on how I accomplish this in another post.

Always wanted to make a chess set and board and case.The dark pieces are from a dead cherry tree I took down in my backyard, the light from some popular that I had lying around and the light on the board and case from a piece of maple firewood. Was a good test for doing compound cuts on the scroll saw

This is one I just kind of came up with. The customer was pleased.
