Sometimes the most interesting things appear from nowhere and in your own neighborhood. Several weeks ago while walking some four blocks from home, we came across this house where obviously a woodworking operation was going on. I need little more to attract my attention than people making things out of wood. The picture above is as entertainment center and the one below is a bench that could be used inside or outside.
Saturday afternoon, the gate was open and the owners were standing in the drive. We asked if we could take some pictures. This series of pictures came from their home, garage and driveway. Since the entire dwelling is filled with wood products, we really couldn't tell where the workshop was.
All of the wood is rain forest grown. I still don't know the names, but intend to find out. Note the bed headboard and foot board. The dark wood grows inside the tree and the white wood is younger and on the outside of the tree. It makes a beautiful combination.
The Chevrolet pickup is a REAL work of art. The details right down to the decals and all the damage on the old pickup is amazing. I intend to ask the price in the near future. May be out of my price range, however.
All of the wood is extremely dense and therefore, heavy. Transporting anything of any size back to the US presents a shipping problem.
