Chainsaw Carving – Oak Log Bench Woodworking Project

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:47:58 +0000

My next woodworking, or rather ‘Chainsaw Carving’ project: Making a log bench was next on my ‘to-do’ list. I had reserved two Oak logs for this project. Since I rarely get my hands on large logs I was forced to make the bench in pieces, bolting them together with stainless steel rods. An advantage is that the bench can be fully dismantled if you want to relocate it. The bad side is that you have A lot of individual pieces that you need to precise fit onto each other. The wood was still fairy green, so you had to take warping and shrinking into account as well. That took huge amounts of time (and frustration). Despite the troubles I am happy with the result. The color the Tung oil gives the wood is incredible and that moment made up for most of the frustrations. And to be fair, I again learned a lot of new techniques like burning lines with the angle grinder and steel cutting disks. Let me know what you think of it. This bench was made in Hortus Haren, Netherlands.

admin — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 08:45:43 +0000

Another woodworking video in the continuing series. In this video: freeform bowls and wooden spheres, a ceiling lamp and two candle holders. Used special woods such as Golden chain (Laburnum), Burled Alder (Alnus), Birdeye sycamore and rootballs. A woodlovers dream to work with. No lathe of any kind is used, only my angle grinder and saburr tooth carbide grinding disks, enabling me to create any shape I want without restrictions. 90% of the stuff I make is finished with oils to bring out the natural beauty. The effects on Golden chain for example are breathtaking. Finishes used in these projects: Tung oil, Chestnut Lemon oil, gloss polyurethane, Shellac and Rustin Danish oil. Depending on the color I want, I first use ether Rustin Danish Oil or my own oil brew of 1/3 Tung oil+1/3 Lemon oil+1/3 Polyurethane as the color coat. Next two coats of Shellac to seal it, then again my oil brew, Danish oil, or 1/2 Polyurethane+1/2 Lemon oil as a topcoat. All projects are made at home, in a tiny shed (aka the doghouse..), Groningen, Netherlands.
