Rustic Driftwood Stool

Driftwood is such an interesting material to use. Soft, worn, aged, tough.

This stool is a mix of driftwood branches, fence palings, and a block of wood. Not too exciting when its said like that.

Finished with boiled linseed oil.

Lots of grain and sanded to within an inch of its life. Nice to sit on too.

Fence battens and a beautiful piece of worn painted timber all from Blacks Beach Mahia... Nice.

I never worked out what the holes are for

Another 3 Legged Stool

OMG - Rustic Shelving Ugly Thing

I was inspired to attempt a rustic piece of furniture - a mix of driftwood and manufactured wood. 

There is a stack of ABC boxes in my garage - the ones that DB Brown come in. I thought that this could be good for the experiment.

The boxes make very good shelves and - well, the drift wood legs hold it all up. The boxes are white washed to let the stenciling come through.
