It's my first real wood furniture project that I made in my spare time over 2-3 months. I don't have that much free time for those, if I would, I'd probably completed it quicker.

This has been made mostly out of oak scraps that I had, either from previous projects or old neglected furniture that I dismantled and repurposed to the wood.

Only 2 pieces of Oak veneered MDF on the sides.

There are 3 pine pieces of wood, one on the front covered by thin oak strips (very bottom part, and 2 at the back.

For the finish, I rubbed in very thin amount of danish oil to make the grain pop and then I applied few layers of clear satin varnish, as I wanted it be a waterproof.

I'm really happy with how it turned out.

This was an ongoing project for over 3 months. I had loads of scraps and thin strips of wood that I didn't want to waste. So I've decided to start glueing them together. Started from really thin ones, then glued up ones together again and so on.

My initial plan was to make a chaos pattern but i still had three already glued up pieces from previous board (the middle part) that I messed up and it didn't make it to one of my previous boards. This began a new plan to have some sort of mosaic. During the whole process I've changed my mind few times on how I'llput it together and the "design" evolved to what it is now.

I'm really happy with the result and it's the first board I'm actually going to keep for myself.
