End table with drawer. the top is made of Douglas Fir flooring from the customer's old house. The base is from an old Singer sewing machine. The body of the table is made from old white pine shelf boards reclaimed from an old house. Everything except the screws, glue and brads is reclaimed material.
The flooring material the top is made of was uneven. I didn't want to cut off the tongues and grooves because they wanted it to look like the old floor...and I wouldn't have enough material for the top. I joined them together, holding them with plywood underneath. To even the top I planed the high spots and then belt sanded it. this took off the old patina...but that will come back in time as it is exposed to sun. the edge was routed with a 1/4 in roundover.
The box was made of old shelf boards. the shelves were joined together with wiggle fasteners. I thought these would look cool as a design element and cut the boards to include them. all the holes and marks are from 100 years of use.
The whole thing was sanded and varnished with satin polyurethane. The top was sanded down to 400 grit to get a nice finish. it was a fun challenge.

For my last photography assignment, i was to pick a photo journalist, emulate his/her style, and pick a topic in society that i could compose a 6 picture photo essay on.
Having just gone on a recycling tour at Penn State and with Earth Day quickly approaching, i thought it would be appropriate to do an essay on Penn State's waste management and recycling efforts.
Until the 1950s the road from Braidwood to Bateman's Bay via the Clyde Mountain Road was unsealed. When any intrepid driver got to Nelligen they crossed the Clyde River on a punt and did the same to cross the Clyde Estuary and reach Bateman's Bay.
Then a new steel lift bridge was put in over the estuary and apart from the few occassions when it did, in fact, lift, the trip over the water was swift.
Now that bridge is being replaced at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars and with the help of heavy lifting equipment hired from Singapore. Here is a perfectly functional bridge, undoubtedly destined for scrap, being superseded at a monumental cost while we fiddle as, err, Bateman's Bay burnt.
Surely the extra greenhouse gases, the wasted energy so on and so on is hard to justify when so little attention is being paid to the existential threats which make a new bridge seem just a bit silly?
It's true, all things must pass.
Perhaps it is too soon for this bridge? To make matters worse is there a more environmentally unsound material that the pre-cast concrete that will replace the existing steel bridge? The embodied energy is horrendous, and the options for recycling poor. At least steel can be recovered and reused. This looks like a bridge too far.

This was the shelf from my old computer desk, and I saw it sitting there in the garbage, and wanted to just draw on it before it got tossed. I then found a sharpie marker that is retractable! i fell in love!!! i know its only a sharpie but it was so much fun making this happy drawing!!! i dont know where the fish swam in from! Its a heavy piece.
