Here is one from the lathe department. If ONLY we had someone here with a lathe...

ooooooooo....

How do you make something like that hollow?

It would be tricky to lay it up hollow. It can be hollowed out through the small hole in the top, but it would be a royal pain in the ass and take a long time. Better to make a larger hole in the bottom to work through then plug it and glue a piece of anti-skid/anti-scratch material over it.

My choice would be to stick a dried posy in it and forget it.

Perfect cat, no litter box...

Why not lay it up with a hexagonal unglued blank section? Like you put a support in an arch of bricks? Then at the end, just pull the "plug" out. Of course, how much empty do you need? Just enough for a couple of flower stems. Drill it out.

Or lay it up over a blank of Styrofoam, drill the hole, and dissolve the foam. ;)

A very, very old Scandinavian door...

Very much do I like that.

Do big slab doors like that move with humidity changes?

I like it a lot, but imagine it would bind in the summer and let cold air in in January.

If it closes against the casing rather than inside the casing, it shouldn't be a problem. Or if it fits loosely in the casing but against a stop trim.

This is wild, a slab of Black Walnut and four wrenches...

looks ... plush. petrified plush to be precise.

Nice!

I like.
