A Place for Everyone

Following on the theme of wood-working and furniture-making, Nannup in Western Australia was once a timber town and there is still a certain amount of activity there involving forestry and timber. There are fine furniture craftsmen within the town and small items in craft shops tempt tourists into buying gifts for others or for themselves.
Slabs of jarrah or marri can be seen being utilised as park benches or counters in some of the small shops that line the main street. Here you can see a length of timber forming a counter in an outdoor dining area. I love how the natural curves of the timber create individual places for customers.

Ah. A counter. At first I thought it was a bench, because I didn't notice the stool. Cool!

And we see how a saw is used to make those curves disappear (lol)

I like the furniture made of timber, which is environment friendly.The laminate ones always smell of formaldehyde.

The natural timber can really add a nice touch. It makes more sense to use wood then let so many things go to waste.

And it's particularly suitable here given that it's a timber town.

Quite possibly this piece wasn't good enough for any other use.

I wish I had the talent to make things like that out of parts of nature

The edge has been left rough so it does look a bit like the work of a beaver. :)

Looks and sounds very good! Especially when there's history like this. I would love to see the craftsmanship
