Handcrafted Wooden Art

A foldable beach chair of my own design, crafted from okoumé hardwood with a seat of traditional handmade fabric from Madeira. It folds flat to just 5 cm — light enough to carry to the beach, yet sturdy enough to relax in for hours.

This is the second iteration. The first chair showed its limits after real use — the wood was too soft and the screws too weak — so I rebuilt it from scratch. This time the entire design lived in a parametric technical drawing first: complete documentation and a 3D assembly before the first cut, with properly sized screws and bolts throughout.

Build notes: Designing parametrically before cutting paid off — every dimension stayed consistent and every joint was planned ahead. Softwood and undersized hardware don't survive real use; hardwood and properly sized fasteners are worth the investment.

Modern garden armchairs of my own design, crafted with concealed joinery for a clean, screw-free look. The high-gloss yacht varnish finish catches light beautifully, while the hand-woven seat — made from 3 mm nylon cord — adds both comfort and textural contrast.

The design started with Pinterest inspiration and evolved through a full-scale 1:1 paper drawing into a thin plywood template. Every component was cut from a single wide, thick plank using a bench saw, with all edges softened by hand router for a refined, rounded profile.

An earlier prototype used a simpler wood-protection finish and a lighter seat frame that proved too delicate. This final version addresses both: the frame is sturdier, and the finish deepens from stain into yacht varnish for lasting outdoor durability.

Build notes: This project was a hands-on education — concealed screw joinery, chair rigidity, wood staining and varnishing, and nylon cord weaving. On the material front: evergreen wood sheds considerable resin, making it less than ideal for furniture. And a practical reminder: patience with drying times between stain and varnish pays off.

Handcrafted from jatoba and ash, this stool came to life during an intensive woodworking course. It was my first time working with a planer, jointer, and bandsaw — every piece was milled, dimensioned, and fitted by hand.

The stool is assembled entirely with traditional joinery and glue, without a single metal fastener, and finished with a light coat of oil that brings out the warm, contrasting grain of the two woods.
