Not too good with links so this may not work

Very nice O-Ninio! Has a touch of the 'modern movement' about it. What type of timber is she made of?

legologic

Very plush and excellent LC submission. Hope you have the project porfolio to match, it'd be a shame to lose points on that as you're just bound to do well with that chair.

Here is a pic of the back

It is made of Cherry, lovely timber to work with.

This was actually submitted in 2002 just thought I' d pop up a pic. I did have the portfolio to go with it which is very important for anyone doing theirs now.

It's a great piece. Did you continue with the woodworking at all?

I submitted mine 2003 (electric guitar) but never really continued with it. I rather regret it as I was fairly alright and really enjoyed it. I'm thinking of taking up turning.

@ legologic, didn't really continue with the furniture side of things, Ended up getting a job with a general builder who is a chippie by trade so worked with him about 2 - 3 days a week while in college doing Quantity surveying finished now though, and hes been pretty generous with his knowledge and because its only a small company I get to do pretty much everything an not just the gofer stuff.
Parents pretty much let me do whatever to the house bar anything majorly structural, there sound about it although if I wear my workboots in the house the mother goes mad she doesn't actually realise they've got soft soles she never gives out about the tools I have stored in my room which currently looks like a builders yard can't understand her philosophy?
I would defo recommend getting back into it though if you can I know Bolton St DIT have a turning course on Mon nights and there are various other evening classes.

WAIT WAIT WAIT, You can DO a wood project for your leaving cert? Wait as in you can do wood and not construction for the lc? or can u just do that project instead of the gay model that i was forced to do in my old school?

legologic

You can build what you like for the construction studies LC project. My cousin was also made build a scale model for his. I'd imagine it's the whim of the teacher.

Patricide

BASTARD!! i wanna take up construction again really bad now, JESUS i cant though i changed schools to one where i cant do my best subject. not a smart choice.
