Got the wood free od facebook marketplace. All handtools. Got excited after one coat of clear shellac and put it together.

I’ve made two so far…first was in poplar, and the second in walnut. This approach def exercises the jigsaw and sanding skills.

About 10 days ago I finished my first woodworking project: a bench made from birch plywood. Overall I’m really happy with how it turned out and learned a ton along the way.
