My first stab at driftwood style furniture, but certainly won’t be the last! This was a lot of fun, letting go of the tape measure and square, and using some creative thinking. It’s made from some local driftwood found (FREE) here in New Hampshire. I brushed on a coat of Autralian Timber oil to finish it off. It’s not perfect, and there are some things I would change, but my better half was most excited to see the finished product, so thats all I can really ask for :) Comments and critiques welcomed, thanks for looking…

A great job. Sometimes you just gotta let the work guide you and it looks like you did it justice. Good work.

Letting the meter and square go! The best of both worlds, both strict planning and improvised artistry!

Stumbling across this in the garden or woods would be a wonderful surprise and I would have to sit and daydream a bit.

Very nicely done! How did you tie it together, if I may ask; I don’t see any screws or nails?

I counterbored the places where there were any nails or screws to inset them, but they are there lol. The back was put together using an air nailer w/ 1” – 2” finish nails and glue. It was a chore getting the first few sections assembled.
