My work has been busy lately since we are very short handed with many working from home, but been trying to still have some projects going on.
This is a simple desk I made form SYP construction lumber. Made mostly with hand tools, but I have been using my wooden bandsaw project to do more of the grunt work.
I have something of a love/hate relationship with SYP. I love the low cost, availability, and sustainability, and when I find it with tight growth rings, it does have its own sort of beauty.
But I hate trying to cut clean mortises thought the layers of soft early wood and hard late wood. Its like pounding on a piece of hard rubber. Very sharp tools help of course.
