Handcrafted Wooden Art

A triple hanging pendant light crafted from three old glass bowls of varying sizes and reclaimed pine wood. The mounting plate at the ceiling level was handcrafted along with tapered wooden mounts that connect to the tops of the textured glass shades — one large (Ø25 cm) and two smaller ones (Ø20 cm). Features a transparent cable with adjustable length for clean installation.

This project required drilling holes in three bowls instead of just one, creating openings at different positions on each bowl to accommodate the varied mounting setup. Everything else followed the same process as the single-point version: tung oil finish brings out warm tones against walls, and combining vintage glass with CNC-milled wood components creates a unique blend of old-world charm and modern craftsmanship.

Build notes: This project marked my first time drilling holes in glass in many years, working carefully through both sides of the bowl to create openings for mounting and wiring.

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.

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.

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.
