Rocking donkey


I was thinking of making a gift for the son of a friend of mine, so I did a small web research
and bumped into a rocking animals eshop. I bought some wood, took my tools and voila.
Hope you like it.

Pergolas


My first big project 3 pergolas

I recently lost my job as a veterinary assistant (greek crisis or boss's menopausal wife, not sure yet but for sure that was not funny at all ;) ),
so I said why not, let's see if my love for wood can give me some money.

I was asked to make 3 pergolas at the EVANESCENCE residencies in Delfini beach in Cyclades Syros islands Greece.
Great place by the way.

So here's the result so far. I will add some more photos when it's finished.

Muskoka chair or Adirondack chair

An Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair is a type of chair favored in rural, outdoor settings. The precursor to today's Adirondack chair was designed by Thomas Lee in 1903. He was on vacation in WestportNew York, in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, and needed outdoor chairs for his summer home. He tested the first designs on his family. The name Muskoka was adopted from the municipality of MuskokaOntario,[1][2] a cottage country area north of Toronto.  read more
