RECLAIMED REDWOOD AND JAPANESE JOINERY


Making this entertainment console was a great opportunity to use some old turn of the century redwood that I had accumulated and try my hand at using hand tools for all of the joinery. Redwood is a great wood for this as it's softness makes for smooth chiseling and good compression fit joints. I tried my best to leave all the idiosyncrasies of the wood (holes, paint remnants, kerf marks, etc...) so as to keep the wood's rustic character.
