Crafts from logs
Lump!
No, this is not a dump in the back yard of a carpenter's shop.workshop, but a designer object that can equally successfully play the role of an intricate table or an abstract sculpture. Combine the logs and timber left over from building a summer house, guided by your sense of beauty, and you will get an unworn original work of modern art. And let someone say that it is not so!
Four-legged friends
These objects stand firmly on the ground thanks totheir massive . They can be used as stools, bedside tables, sofa tables, coffee tables and other tables depending on the situation. A two-centimeter recess creates additional convenience - you can safely put small items on this table that are always trying to fall or roll onto the floor.
Tumbleweed
Everything ingenious is simple:Four wheels are attached to a wide and thick unedged board. This makes a mobile coffee table. A board of the appropriate format can be purchased at construction markets. All you have to do is equip it with means of transportation.
Around the trunk
The oval table top, 3 cm thick, is attached tolegs that have the shape of semi-cylinders. To create such a table, a professional approach is required: it is necessary to make precise measurements and qualitatively process the surfaces, so it is clearly impossible to do without a carpenter.
Peasant meal
The simplest thing you can do with a piecetimber, — cut out a «waist» on it. This archaic form is good both in itself and as table legs, you just need to put a wide board-tabletop on them. Such a table is not afraid of any cracks - they only contribute to the creation of an authentic-ecological image.
Make a rack
Even if you don’t cut anything down or anything at allcut from a bar, it is still able to decorate a modern interior, acting as a side table or a pedestal for art objects, vases and lamps. Despite the primitiveness of the design, a certain skill is required to give the logs stability. For this, the cuts must be perfectly even. Not confident in your own abilities?
