I love it. Your choice of the moss covered wall backdrop was spot on too! Kinda reminds me of an old fish trap.

Stewart, amazing creativity as always.

I like the “joinery” on this piece.

Ha … I get your drift….Great project!
My only question, did you use a rock for a hammer?

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

Very cool, Yorkie! I don’t think I would try to use your surfboard if you used the same building technique.

Creative, neat, great idea.

Great piece Mr. Stewart. You are my inspiration. Love your choice of wood mixture and color. What kind of stain did you use. Also are those through tenons I see?

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

Dearest Lumberjocks, thanks again for your comments and your wonderful humour.

Jockmike – I didn’t have to sand it (!). And believe it or not all the hues are natural; finished with salt water. Those tenons are just for show. Its real strength lies in the mitred secret dovetails – Not to be taken into account in your voting!

Great use of found materials. A truly unique piece. You had the courage. Perhaps I’ll wander up the North Shore and see what I can find.

Great job!

I think that is about perfect – I’m totally with you on the wood dictating the “rules” of the piece.

Excellent. One of the places I walk near a river has some driftwood like this. Never thought to pick up the small pieces. Now I will. Thanks again.

-- Bruce from Central New York

Outstanding, and brilliant work. You are a chap that I would love to mentor from. Thanks for the inspiration

YorkshireSteward,
that is something I like. How bix is the box? Thanks for sharing.

-- Jiri

Thanks for your interest and comments all. It’s pleasing that I might have inspired a couple of LJs to do some scavenging.

Scott – My wife could not believe the word ’perfect’ would ever be applied to this :-)

Jiri -It’s something like 15” x 11” x 11” OR 380mm x 280mm x 280mm.
