Inspiration. I took a trip to a family member’s lake house this past weekend for some quiet time. While I was there, I had the opportunity to explore and was able to drag out of the lake a few water soaked pieces of driftwood varying in size. Working with driftwood can be tricky. Whether it is the condition of the wood or how it differs from every other piece used, sometimes your end result looks like something that should be thrown back in the lake. There is a fine line between a contemporary piece with rustic inspiration and just a pile of rotting wood!
While these dry out I will be brainstorming ideas for my next creation, but I am considering going with something similar to these below. A more functional bench, or maybe even a centerpiece...
