      ​@@FlippingdrawersGreetings from New Castle Delaware USA. Here's a Special Request: Please repurpose an old piece of furniture into a bedside table with a mini-rotating bookcase on top and gooseneck reading lamp and slot for pens and glasses. ⛽ Repurposing furniture is the MOST INTERESTING thing wood workers do! *You could also build a custom cat bed so your cat would be at the same level as your pillow. 😂

    A beautiful bench and a beautiful model to show it off too 🥰 I've never seen spalted wood before. Isn't it amazing the patterns left behind on wood caused by trauma basically. The spalting being caused by fungus and burled wood also scars from a battle with a viral or fungal infection. And those battles leave the wood all the more beautiful and interesting to look at. I find it fascinating. Great job on this Jay as always. Thanks for sharing.

    If only you'd posted this last week we might not have ordered a new bench! Not that we have the tools or skills that you do, but we do have a couple of old chairs and spare wood, and would have a had a crack at making something like this (we don't like to see anything go to waste either, even our offcuts get stored for firewood). As ever your finished project looks great, and your imagination is amazing.

    job on taking 2 chairs n turning it into a great looking bench. Your so kind to do this for a neighbor. She’s going to be thrilled. Wish you had a video to share when you gave it to her. I would love see her expression on her face.
    I’m not a real cat lover but I’ve fallen love with the kitty that comes around to you. He or she is so cute n fluffy n I think she thinks you made the bench for her/him. Your truly amazing at what you do with throw aways.
