My youngest son Harry has a love of wood and carpentry.Even as a small boy he was always nailing bits of wood together.In fact he made me some shelves for my wardrobe at the age of eight!He saw this in Country Homes and Interiors and has had a go at making his own version.He is planning to make some small pieces of furniture to sell in the shop so he can earn some extra money for his next trip abroad.The photo is a bit blurry.Will post again when it's finished.
I love the colour of this one...
My husband has also made some really nice peices over the years.When I first met him he put up a shelf in his room and put some books on it and he promptly fell down. I think he has come a long way.
This was made out of some reclaimed and well seasoned pine.
We were looking at the furniture in Laura Ashley many years ago and I fell in love with this type of dresser.It was £1100.We had hardly any money so John said he would have a go at making it.I was and still am thrilled with the result.It's still not quite finished .He has to add a central shelf and a little glazed door in the middle...one day maybe......
