Driftwood

[Neil Stratford]

I took a drive down to the Tweed river and collected some driftwood for the garden earlier this month. I found a well weathered piece of sleeper that I thought I could make into something interesting. With all this crap weather I  found some time and got out the electric soldering iron and etched a  Kraken into it to add a bit of character. Next piece I  find ,  might make a  Rum tasting paddle with a similar design.

Hey Neil.

 

I'm currently making a fishing rod cabinet, out of Tasmanian Oak and Jarrah.

It is going to look similar to this photo attached below.

 

I'm going to incorporate some driftwood I collected from the Georges River, NSW. It is some type of eucalyptus and has been effected by shipworm which have borer out all those holes in the photo. It provides some really interesting textures and appearance.
