My friend David (boo-coup.com) and I are collaborating on a line of chunky, simple and reasonably priced furniture in the form of stools, benches, small tables, and pedestals. Most of the wood comes to us free, care of some heavy duty dumpster diving at a reclaimed lumber yard. It’s hard to tell what we wind up with until we get the stuff back to our shop, so far lots of oak, pine, hemlock, fir, poplar, and one nice piece of teak (methinks). Finishes are a mixture of propane torch, boiled linseed oil and danish oil. We are entering this line in the upcoming BKLYN DESIGNS trade show (bklyndesigns.com). Thanks for looking…...

those are very cool. I’m going to steal your ideas for some old douglas fir timbers I’ve got. Thanks for the inspiration!

Cool designs and finishing techniques. The modern setting you display them in accentuates their rustic beauty. Excellent.

Chunk? Is that a technical or creative term? j/k. I like the simple, yet complete, look of the pieces. Good luck with your collaboration.
