babybed

i am very proud of this project because it´s the first time that i really started a piece from raw timber. 

i love everything about that process! going to the sawmill, choosing the slabs, tking them home, thinking of the most efficient way to cut up the slabs, planing them, glueing them back together in concideration of the gain, and then handeling it very, very carefully during the build.

the design evolved during the build (as always i didn´t make a scetch). this bed is made of 3 slabs of oak and 3 slabs of walnut. 
 

 

Mel´s Table

Soooo, it´s been a couple weeks since my last post...that´s because i quit my job at urban outfitters, found a new workshop, moved there and started working on my first jobs being self-employed.
so far i absolutly love it!
that might be because my friend mel asked me to build a desk for her. she is a brilliant writer... so building her a desk was a super exciting job!
i am really happy with the finished piece.
