View Full Version : Can I still call myself a woodworker?

My wife forced me to make a rustic chic bedside table for a friend.
It is made of a crudely cut slab I bought for $5 and wood salvaged from a very old pile of debris.

The dark stuff in the middle is epoxy, as the slab was just about to split. In retrospect, I should have mixed some sawdust in the top layer.
My wife is thrilled by it (and perhaps that is all that matters), but it looks like bonfire wood to me.

I don't know if your being a little tongue in cheek or not so I think I should keep my opinion to my self. :D

If wife = happy then life is good. Don't question anything else.

Wade,
You are no longer a woodworker. You are now an artiest. All you projects are now worth 10 times what they were yesterday.:)

Cool! I'm glad I asked.

It is simply mind over matter.

She don't mind. You don't matter.

That's about 850 in Chagrin Falls. Nice job.

This! Indeed.

What is the slab, looks like it came from a very big tree. But then around here, 2 foot across is big...
