This desk caddy from P+A has me inspired to use up some of those thicker pieces of waste wood we have piling up somewhere. Between our projects at home and my hubby's wood shop I'm sure there is many many beautiful pieces that are too small to be much else than firewood, till now.  Wood scraps, a few power tools, a nice sand and clear coat and I should have a couple of these to tidy up my work tables in my tiny studio. Peg + Awl has so many beautiful, rustic, primitive inspirations and I love their look.  Check 'em out...

part art, part play

This is grrrreat! A play area made from tree cutoffs, the options and ideas for what you can do with this inspiration overflowith.  And I had no idea Eucalyptus grew to get so gigantic. Found here.

the builder

the Makers. a rather recent discovery for me, a find I am of course inspired by.  I was led there many weeks back by an inspiring virtual friend Lune.  the natural, geometric detailed woodwork of the Builder is one I am fond of but there are several.  using the old and salvaged to make the new and beautiful.  its great to see a young attractive lady succeeding in a field most commonly known to men. 

I myself tinker a bit with power tools and salvaged wood, as for me the closer to rotten the wood the better, it's something that makes me happy.  my hubby and I have some ideas for reinventing the wheel yet another want-to on the to-do. you can read a little more about that here.
