nice to see something replaced in that way , myself I would not have changed iot unless it needed it...

Thanks. Sadly I don't think much about the enviromental effect of this, I just find it way more nice touching wood then plastic!

What a great idea!!! A fridge with a wooden handle would not go down easy with my missus, a shoehorn def would on the other hand...

love the ideas mate, not sure our lass would be happy with me taking her handles off and putting mine on though

A quick simple project, replaced my cleaning mop shaft! I needed the threads from the old shaft for the mop heads to fit so I cut it off. Then fitted it to the birch stick, put some waterresistent glue inside, tried some very bad file works and colored the pipe using a permanent black pen. The tree I cut down for this stick where many times as high. It was growing in a dense spruce forest. This birch is very strong, super slow grown. I'm near 250 pounds and can barrely make it bend when I lean on it against the floor. It has been drying indoors for about 4 years.

Made two door knobs for my kitchen cabinets. 2 made, 12 to go... don't know how many I can stand doing. Carved from one piece of alder.

i made a cooking spatula and several spoons (i like black walnut!) from leftover pieces @work (=carpentry)- seems better then just burning the garbage to me ... . and right now i'm making clothes hooks for my ""cave"" from natural forks (recycling, too)-- does that count?!
