One of the woodwork forums I frequent started a competition a few months ago to see what each member could make from a standard length of 2x4 construction grade pine board. The deadline for competition entries is Christmas Day and, although I may struggle to make the deadline, here's how my entry is progressing.
Just to prove I once had a piece of 2x4:
It got cut into these components:
Then it was reassembled into a coffee table:
I'm going to decorate the upper rails with Tudor roses and other motifs to turn it into a Genuine Antique Tudor Coffee Table
:
Those motifs are still far from complete and they may not all be finished by the deadline. Anyway, I thought I'd let everyone know what I've been up to in my workshop on those rare days when the temperature has risen above freezing. If I seem to visit the forum less than normal over the next couple of weeks, you'll know why - I've moved out of the cold workshop and into the warm kitchen
.
