Honey, I've finished the bedroom, call our daughter and have her bring her children to see it.

Every time I see one of these fantastic kid bedrooms, and this one is fantastic, I wonder if they realize how fast the kids grow up. Maybe that's why he built it strong enough for three adults.

That is awesome. It also acts as a deterrent to adult children moving back and a honey pot for Grandchildren visiting.

One guy in Hawaii...

Quote:

Albizia, aka "The Tree That Ate Puna," is a highly invasive pest. Land with a lot of albizia growing on it is less valuable than an equivalent lot with no albizia on it, because of the cost of removing the undesirable trees.
The wood is weak and brittle, leading to its most notorious feature... dropping heavy branches with no warning. It has been responsible for numerous downed power lines, crushed roofs, injuries, etc. as well as strangling out ohia forest. It is unsuitable for structural uses.
It can be burned.

But another Hawaiian...

Quote:

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - They are known for their broad canopies and brittle branches. Albizia trees are a nuisance to some, and something to eradicate for others. But for Gary Young albizia is a choice wood.
"I started looking around at what grew here. Albizia was sort of an abundant resource," he said.
Young turns that abundant resource into surfboards. For years he has used albizia wood and an epoxy laminate to craft a board he claims is as strong as a fiberglass surfboard.
"They weigh the same or less than a fiberglass board. And they have higher durability," he said.
Young is a seasoned surfboard maker. He has built them out of wood since 1976, using koa, bamboo, and now albizia.
"It's the best material I've ever worked with," he said.

The homeowners could thoughtlessly have put the hinges on the wrong side of the house.

Looks like a chair ya'd sit in when getting a manicure.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-02-2016, 06:14 PM

Or pedicure, which leaves her open to... uh, suggestion.

The trestle style base seems to be de rigueur, for wide board tops.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-07-2016, 03:37 PM

This is an easy one anybody with a jackknife and a hunk of tree can do.

Observer: How did you carve that easy chair?

Carver: I just removed everything that wasn't an easy chair.

Reclaimed wood table/ I don't like it.

The design and the wire legs are very 60s. Quite retro.
