It’s hard to come up with a more perfect summer project than this reader-submitted pair of lifeguard chairs.
My father and I made a pair of lifeguard chairs for a friend. We designed it to be functional and comfortable.
It has a slide out tray between the chairs and a removable umbrella stand. The seat height is 48″

This reader-submitted project incorporates details from other sources to put a unique spin on a standard piece of furniture.
My name is Adam Rung from Adam Rung Woodworks. This is my Teak Porthole End Table. The name is pretty self-explanatory. I made the table out of Teak wood and a porthole that was recovered from a ship in Nova Scotia. I generally work with regionally grown hardwoods and reclaimed materials, but I chose Teak for this project because it has traditionally been used in the ship-building community.

This reader-submitted project is proof once again that you don’t always need to know what wood you’re using for it to turn out beautifully.
Thought you might appreciate this credenza I made to hold books for my wife. It’s constructed from curly Mahogany with a heavily figured bird’s eye Maple top, accents and carved handles. The veneer on the door fronts is a mystery wood I acquired while dealing in wood veneers, that has an incredible curly, lustrous look with black veins.

Sometimes your best work for what you make for yourself…
This is a desk I built for our home. I build big custom furniture for clients and I wanted something great for my own house. We built our home a few years ago, and I had an office space that was perfect for a nice desk. The wood is alder, with walnut inserts on the doors. I design and carve all the artwork.

There’s nothing like a big deadline to get a project done…
Here are some photos of a cherry credenza that I completed recently.
It’s been a while since I’ve had time to spend in the shop, so I really looked forward to working on this.
Fortunately, I was able to finish it in time for all the football games on Thanksgiving Day!

This reader-submitted project comes with a story of the woodworking equivalent to finding a $100 bill in the pocket of a long forgotten jacket or pair of pants.

The unique grain pattern of this reader-submitted project puts a fresh look on a classic design.
As you can see by the photo it is a Morris style chair. I put a little spin to it like instead of the slats on the sides I used flat panels of Birdseye Maple.

This reader-submitted project shows once again that great projects can come from wood that someone else might call “trash”.
I built this adirondack style loveseat out of reclaimed redwood, It had previously been someone’s deck. Lot’s of rot, dirt, nails, screws, and loose knots had to be dealt with. This project is based on Norm Abram’s plan, but I’ve made the back a bit taller and the material a bit thicker.
