Covid-lockdown Bookcase:
Created during the lockdown out of what ever I had lying around and a few hardwood pallets from the local animal feed store! I luckily had a sheet of plywood in my workshop which made up the base, with pallet slats laminated for the beautiful textured finish. A few strips of Rimu offcuts and some cool brass luggage corners to give the case a bit of old-world design. Sitting in our cottage stuffed full of novels!

VIP Export Coffee Table:
All recycled timber coffee table using some super cool paint stamped pallet wood. Using the thicker bracing pieces from many pallets and laminating them together for the top, I wanted to keep the rough edges, guages, nail holes and really celebrate the history of the wood's life, so I used black putty for extreme contrast. A black stain for the base and under shelf using super rough sawn timber sanded to a smooth but rough surface.

Reclaimed Rimu Bench
Another Isolation-lockdown project that used a stack of Rimu timber I had been gifted from a builder. The White slats for the seat and back were from a very weathered pile of used decking, each piece has it's own wear marks which all add to the texture of the piece. Each of the Rimu planks had aweome features, from nail holes, gauges, hinge rebates, bark edges and massive rusted bent over nails. So instead of planing all that back I kept each feature and made them all part of the design. The two armrests have neat inlays with contrasting wood types.
