New Bench

I whipped up this garden bench a few weeks back from the remnants of my once proud micro forest of native trees, that were sacrificed as part of a house de-dampening scheme. There are also a few bits of driftwood. Most of the timber is Lacebark which is fast growing and can get out of control in the blink of an eye. The grain, colour and hardness of the wood has been a very pleasant surprise. It is light blonde and has a very pronounced 'ray pattern' similar to quarter sawn oak. I'm also looking into making jewellery and small sculptures with it.
