Whatever it used to be, it looks petrified now.

Well, it's old. If you were that old you'd look petrified, too, woodn't you?

:D

The beautiful and the whimsical...

I love the birbs

Then how about a table to go with them...

Now anyone can make their patio, carport, any slab of concrete, look like a rug.
All you need is a bunch of colored stones and stickum.

And a year or so!

That is very cool.

I'm going to show that to a freind of mine that does that kind of work. He gets $30.00 Hour you can do the math. And yes that is beautiful.

A year? Dream on. :lol:

Unique shave set if you're into that sort of thing.

You could make these yourself...

Like.

Figured out what Griff is going to do with all those planks he's been cutting up. ;)

Somebodies finish work is much nicer than anything Griff would do.

Nothing like people friendly furniture...

Some nice pieces for furniture to sit on.

Stoned? Rocked? Mineralized?

I've been mineralized a lot lately...:joint:

I'm Mineralized rite now.

That sideboard is gorgeous.

Beautiful, indeed. And heavy, I bet.
And $87,000

A man's home is his castle... until he gets married. After that he must settle for his desk being his castle.

I didn't know bad taste was so expensive...

Hmm... I may have a future in terrible furniture.

I think this is intriguing, coffee tables, end tables and the like. They can be trash as you only need half.

I spot two tables he used both halves... ;)

I'm not usually into these "cool only because they're weird" pieces, but I like this one.

Is weirder more expensive? Sure don't look comfy.

Leaning back would be difficult which is good because it would be unstable...

Like playing in the mud, with PlayDoh, or with clay?

I wonder how long to suck the heat out of the water?

You could make a tricked out stereo cabinet...

Funky.

There's probably a 3 ft diameter circle, whose center is 9.7 ft from the audio intersection of those two horns, that you must sit in with your ears 3.55 ft above the floor, for maximum effect. :rolleyes:

I know where that same spot is my bedroom. My speakers aim at the spot from the corners of the room.

It is a sweet spot.

Meeting him, seeing his work in his store, was cool but a down.
Loved his work but knew I'd never be able to afford it.
Then this table was about $3,000, now they're $17,000.

Cool effect leaning tree table...

I have enough trouble with spider webs already.

Cobwebs? That's easy, flame thrower.

You're going to do what with this board?
Oh no you're not!

You could modify most chairs to incorporate this feature...

Or, ya just lean to the left or right and give it the ol' One Cheek Sneak.[/GeorgeCarlin]

This is strange, the top, bottom, front and back are made up of sliding slats.
The frame keeps it together but you can't set anything on top, or place anything inside, without
risking it ending up on the floor. All it's good for is demonstrating how useless it is.

Reminds me of this:


But this guy has more humor and more free time:


This guy cruelly pits one against the other:


Elegant, complicated, *and* useless:


Thanks to Moore's Law, they're getting smaller. But now they can also sense your approach:

I've got one of those.

:lol: I'm not surprised. Man after my own heart. :thumb:

Gather up the loose coins and build furniture...

The man was magic with wood...

Sexy joining. I'm guessing all the crap particle board stuff you see in hotels was meant to reflect that work.

From a short distance it looks like rough sawn lumber but up close you seen that's the grain of the wood with different reflectivity causing that effect.

This is just one of many paper sculptures on this guys website.
It is easy to get to the whole thing if you like this one.
I wish I could figure out how to include the pic.

You have to download it from there and upload it to here, no hot linking allowed.

Could make some cool patterns with this...

Buying quality lamps is such a painful process.

the lamp pictured doesn't seem SUPER complex. I think there's a lot of potential for a lamp like this with the addition of different colored gels. I like the idea of making different colored shadows.

You don't have to bother with gels, LEDS got that covered.

True, but then I would be stuck with one unchangeable color per light.

You can say that about many things. I started a toaster thread about it many moons ago.

Don't understand.
