My boss has asked me if i could make a squonk for him. He knows i like to make things from wood.
So i thought why not.
I took out a couple of rotten benches but saved some of the better timbers. All i know is they are a hardwood.
But i have no idea what.
Chopped off 100mm from this length.
Marked a rough shape with proposed drill holes.
I can only do free hand as i dont have the proper machinery.
But then it makes it more individual.
Using my little pillar drill and the good old fashioned spade wood bit.
Very easy with care and decent speed.
with a lick of varnish to bring out the grain.
Just waiting for a Modmaker order to come through to finish this off.
Then start the polishing and buffing to get a glass finish.
This wood is very well seasoned and will not split as it's been on a bench for the last 25 years.
Please let me stress that i only make these as a hobby and for fun.
Just like to show what can be achieved from a piece of wood.
Thanks for looking.
