Doll's House Furniture

This was a set of furniture for a child who had a doll's house made by plan toys. The pieces are made of 12 mm thick finger jointed rubber wood. The yellow is stained. The rest are acrylic paints. It took a long time to dry though.
Scaling: 1:12
I used a few headless nails per piece so that it could withstand a child's handling. Even though the headless nails were very thin, I used a dremel to drill a guide guide hole first.

Wooden Pen Stand

This is a pen stand that I made from finger jointed rubber wood.

To make it I stuck four identical pieces of 12 mm finger jointed rubber wood to make the sides. Once they had partially dried I stuck it to another piece of wood for the bottom. I trimmed the pieces using my home made table saw. However I over trimmed the pieces and made a deep cut into the wood. I therefore trimmed it on all sides both on the top and at the bottom to leave a raised area in the middle.

A name was cut out from thin teak veneer and stuck on one side to personalize the gift.

The top and the bottom was routed with a round over bit to round the edges.

Finally a finish of varnish quickly wiped away deepened the color and gave it a matte finish..
