After a trying couple of weeks, I completed a personal project today. Posting as therapy.
It's an #electronics #workbench, replacing a crappy folding plastic table I'd been using. Surface is #birch #plywood, with #cherry #hardwood for edging and a back lip so I can't push stuff off the back by accident. The shelves/racks for equipment are made of the same plywood and cherry.
Computer on arm for reference materials, and swings out of the way.

Progress on building a #hardwood #fence. Steps:
1. Restack the wood using shims (first photo).
2. Wait 7 days.
3. Apply an end seal to the boards. Some were already sealed, but an extra coat doesn't hurt (second photo shows some w/ and some w/o end seal).
4. Lay out boards without anything on top of them for a day.
5. Scrape them with a painter's knife and buff them with 0000 steel wool. Pick up particles with tack cloth.
6. Apply stain w/ a pad.
7. Apply a second coat.
8. Dry.
9. GOTO 4
How it started...
How it's going.
Demolished an old, badly constructed, and rotting walkway between the main house and our lounge/library/office.
Built a new one with proper framing, blackbutt decking and the correct fixings, plus correctly mounted the duct for power and TV aerial/satellite NBN dish, which had been hanging loose under the old deck.
I even recovered a small amount of hardwood that can be rejointed and used in a project at some point.
This should last a while.

Our boat has a lot of oak finishing.
Oak is hardwood, and its machine-cut sharp edges don't go dull the way the edges of softwood do.
I regularly scrape the skin off my hands when reaching for T-shirts, socks, undies, and pants.
So my everloving husband has wrapped everything in plastic and is using a sander to take the edges off. ❤️

All assembled! It's a mobile kitchen table with a cutting surface, and it's very lightly finished #Hardwood. It's quite pretty.
One thing I'm going to do much more conscientiously than I did with kitchen hardwood in the past: protect it from stains and water. #TungOil appears to be the ticket.

This is something I made several years ago, prior to moving to #oregon -- it's made from handmade ceramic tiles, underglaze, glaze, melted copper, and hardwood, and is intended to be wall mounted / displayed. Entitled "Cascade" and in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/607397488/cascade-ceramic-wall-art-ceramic?click_key=4090986e4633340a410838f7cda877f3e8fa5d0c%3A607397488&click_sum=ab04e0bf&ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1 #MastoArt #cascade #ceramics #tiles #hardwood #WallArt #etsy #ArtForSaleByArtist
