Extra bits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time I did something with this stuff. It was just an experiment. But I kind of like it. It\u2019s also the first thing I\u2019ve made using bog-oak, a timber I\u2019ve been wanting to use for aeons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting to form an idea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Laying out the bits I have, as pictured above, gave me an idea. I\u2019ve got enough of this pattern to make a small near square box. With the pattern on all faces except the bottom. That\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eagle-eyed may spot that one slice was considerably thicker than the others. So I set up a jig – see above – to allow me to slice it in two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total I now have five, roughly square, pieces of this pattern. Each made from two smaller rectangles, glued (onto new veneer backers) side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final chunk gluing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There were a few missing bits, here and there. Particularly in the fifth and final piece. So I got bits from the leftovers, and filled in any gaps. and plopped a bottle over the final section, to keep it down a the glue sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to do a much better neater and more accurate version of this pattern, some time soon. But the kooky irregularity of this lot is, I think, its charm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
