Neat. Seems wasteful if he simply tosses out those shavings tho

Dude, that's so wasteful!!!! Why not make use of the middle parts for something else?

What you might not realize is that the piece of wood he's.using is one of the most impressive parts of this project. Getting a log like that to the proper state of cure without any cracks takes tons of experience, time and luck.

How to make 30lbs of Wood Shavings.

Is this all the negativity we can get out of this display of skill, effort and talent?

He used the shavings for his giant hamster cage.>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

All those shavings would also be useful for lining his chicken coop, or making humanure compost.

The final result sure is stunning.

Looks great, but I feel that clever use of a series of holesaws could get more use out of a single log.

Impressive skills to be sure, and beautiful finished product. Kind of reminded me of the bowling alley on the Simpsons for some reason.

well he didnt seem to treat it with anything so pretty much after a few sessions of the shade heating up and cooling down, its gonna warp like crazy. Oh and dont you dare put any pressure on it, it will snap like a twig. A whole log, wasted. Id much rather stick with either a treated finished strip of wood, or hell just give me a nice looking fake.. its a freaking lamp shade.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one that thought of the Simpsons when I saw this.

Did you forgot to check the sarcasm box? It's just a log.>> ^jmd:

It was a really fucking nice log though :*(

That guy sure knows how to get wood

That is badass and looks good, too. If you can't do what he does then you could pull the same thing off for cheap with a roll of good quality veneer. Yeah, it will have a seam but ok.
