August 2022
Why did you do it?
It was a gift, but mostly for the fun of making it!
How did you do it?
I sketched a rough idea and made do with the limited tools I had (drill & old rusty saw). I decided to use dowel for the joints as I thought it'd look interesting.
The rough steps were:
Cut wood sections and dowel to size
Drill holes
Assemble dowel joints
Sand and finish with bees wax
