Thank you Mark, the scales did take quite a while but I think they’re worth the effort.

Gorgeous. I’m glad you did the scales, even though they must have taken FOREVER.

Comment on 10 tips for carving in Oak by Jutta

Hello Sue,

No your questions are not dumb.

If you would like the furniture to go inside your house the tree would need to be made into planks first, then dried before it could be made into something and come into a heated dwelling. This would take several years for the air drying etc unless you can find someone who can kiln dry it for you. If you would like to follow this option you need to look for a furniture maker (preferably someone local) who already does this for themselves.

If you would like an outdoor piece of furniture try searching for a chainsaw carver. They will work with greener wood (I think) and make you something beautiful in your garden.

I hope that has helped you, please do come back and tell me how you get on I’d love to know, or if you have any more questions.

Jutta

Hello we have recently had to fell an oak tree in our garden due to roots uplifting drains, i know the trunk would make an excellent piece of furniture possibly coffee table or a bench etc but how do we go about this? i came across your site whilst trying to find “carpenters” or “carving” not sure how to go about finding someone any suggestions or could we just move (with difficulty) the trunk into the area we would like seating and leave it as it is? Sorry if these questions sound dumb!!

I really like these frames, much like Richard I was searching Art Deco and spotted these, they have given me an idea to attempt to create something similar but with with old branches twisted together.

Thanks, Gareth.
