My neighbor gave me a full sheet of CDX Exterior plywood. It was too knotty and stripped for me to use it for much else, so today I converted half a sheet into this stool:
I got the original design from an issue of American Woodworker.
After I buy some more sandpaper and finish sanding this down, I'll probably stain it, lacquer it, and then add a cushion to the seat. It's pretty strong stool, so I figured I might as well use the other half of sheet to make another one.
100% Exterior CDX Plywood table and stools. Who says that CDX can't be classy? My wife has a CDX table and stool made some 50 years ago and it's still going strong. Why CDX? Why not?
Varnished. Done!
The legs for the tables and stools were made from glu-lam plywood, and then rounded on the router table.
Cute!
I've got orders out of the gate before I have even started crafts for the upcoming bazaars. Here are just a few of the prototypes I have cut over the past few days. The moose and grizzly are my favorites. I like the wolf, too, but it needs something more to it (maybe a tree?). Some of the images below are just the prototypes to trace the outlines with. The moose, grizzly, eagle, and wolf have actual keyholders made from them.
Sailboat. I like it, I like it!
Revamped eagle prototype, much better than the last version. Angled view.
Front view.
The older eagle prototype. I didn't care for this one.
Love the moose. Here's another angle of it below:
Absolutely love this little fellow…
The Grizzly turned out much better after I simplified the number of pieces.
A-roooooo…
I decided to make a few "painted" keyholders. This particular one will say, "Don't touch my Monkeys!"
Bobcat.
Can you tell what kind of fish they are?
