The Tongue & Groove coffee table was designed to match the Split Stool below, it's made from Ply, Ironbark and Spotted Gum. The finish is a natural Danish Oil, with sanding sealer applied first to fill the very open grain of the Iron Bark. Although it looks relatively simple, it was actually quite complex to make.

Split Stool
Here's a piece I've recently completed. It's a small, round stool called the Split Stool made from laminated ply, Ironbark and Spotted Gum. These two varieties of timber are extremely hard and durable with beautiful grain. As is often the case with Australian Hardwoods, the more appealing grain is much harder to work and requires scraping and sanding rather than planing so takes hours and hours of work. I'm also in the process of making a matching table that I'll post up soon.
