Wood Crafting Thread: Making Stuff From Trees, branches, roots, or any wood

[MindfulMan]

Wife wanted another floating shelf above the couch in the living room. This one was a little too heavy for my pocket hole mounting trick so I bought a steel bracket that's rated for 250 pounds. The shelf is an oak board that some loggers left in our woods. It's 3-1/2" thick, 12" wide, and 90" long. Figure it weights right at 100 pounds. Really like the weathered grey, brown, and black patina...

It was 15 feet long before I cut it down. There were two other boards with it, just not as nice. I think the loggers used them to park their skidder on when in a swampy area, like our woods. Otherwise they could come back the next day and find their skidder sunk to the axles.

Last ice storm knocked a bunch of trees down in our subdivision. I cleaned up a crabapple tree for our neighbor who really has no way to do it himself. Have some pieces
cut and drying, not a lot of figure but might be useable in 6 months.
