It’s a forest! 24 Teeny Tiny Trees! 🌲 🌳 2 sets of 12, with box 📦, 1 for each our favourite little people 👼👼 😍 This was probably the most fun project we ever did!

We are quite happy that we gave new life to this old favourite! This wooden garden bench with cast iron sides has been with us for about twenty-five years and we finally got around to replacing the old rotting wood slats and replace them with new Red Oak ones. It was a great project and came out looking better than expected. In fact, it looked so nice when completed it was decided that it should reside on the garden patio instead of in the woods up on the hill as originally planned. 😁

We got #strawberries! And the best thing is that with this #everbearing variety we’ll have a continuous supply well into #autumn 🍓😍

A few closeups of the #ravenviewbedbuild showing one of the radiant disks, the awesome grain of the spalted Maple, one of the several turquoise inlays, one of the medallions that covers the bolts and one of the leg post balls. 😍

Here’s the completed #ravenviewbedbuild! 😀 We finished it about a month ago and it continues to awe us every time we walk in the room! We’re so happy with it! 😍 Thanks for following along and for your patience. It didn’t take a long time hourly wise but with other projects (e.g., #ravenviewrocker2018, @spiffoman), craft markets, travel and life in general it took a bit over two years to complete. A true labour of love!

And it starts! 😁

And it starts! 😁

Gee, I guess we should bring you up to speed on the #ravenviewbedbuild 😊... yes, we are sleeping in it but first here is how we’re attaching the side rails to the head and foot boards. We’re using bolts and index pins (the smaller holes) and will cover the front face entry hole with a turned disk. Lining up all these holes were a challenge, especially the long bolt holes, but all went well. 👍

How do you store a box jig? In a box, of course! 😁

Both the headboard and crosspiece mortises are now

Both the headboard and crosspiece mortises are now completed in the #ravenviewbedbuild headboard legs! (The crosspiece will add a bit more stability to the longer legs and eliminate any splay, as well as give us something to attach a centre rail that will run under the mattress boards from the headboard to the footboard.)

Got the mortises completed in the #ravenviewbedbui

Got the mortises completed in the #ravenviewbedbuild footboard legs! Headboard legs next!
