Coffee Table - First Time with Epoxy, First Time With a Slab (imgur.com)
A repost (from Reddit) of a project I finished last summer. It's made from the excess of a (nicer portion) of a slab that a friend cut using an Alaskan sawmill. Edges are chamfered using a circular saw. Knot and void are filled with a scrap from the slab + epoxy. Legs (and epoxy) were purchased from Amazon. Finish is danish oil...
saw another lurker post their work, so here's the tea box I made for my dad (lemmy.ca)
It's not as well executed or fancy as most of the posts here, but dad likes it, so that's what counts.
What do you build with a pile of .5" plywood.
I've got ~10 full sheets of .5" construction grade plywood taking up space in my garage. I've already built a climbing wall for the kids and a new scrap bin....
Shelf for glasses I made for my bar (lemmy.world)

Finished a long-standing dresser build (#2 of 2) (lemmy.world)
I finally finished the dresser I've been working on (it's #2 of 2, built to fit in our closet). No drawer slides, just paste wax, and made pretty much entirely from plywood and glue....

The nerdy version of "Live.Laugh. Love." I made for my wife out of scrap 1x4s. This is the chemical structure of Oxytocin. (sh.itjust.works)
I started this project in August 2020 and after a few weeks when I was just about finished assembling the pieces it fell off my work bench and broke into dozens of fragments that I then threw into the corner of my shop out of frustration. There it sat quietly judging me and haunting me for almost 3 years until I got tired of it...

Took a few weeks and minimal costs... EVERYTHING fits!

Where do you source your wood in the Greater Vancouver area?
Thread title. I've been starting up this as a hobby, but am now interested in making things out of nicer wood than the fir you can find in Home Depot. Google will return big box stores, but personal recommendations are better. Where do you guys sources your lumber?
What's your favorite outdoor finish that maintains the wood look (no paint)?
I made a different, smaller, box
Apparently this one is for flower petals. It's made from scraps of spruce and a very hasty (and as I discovered later, incorrect) drawing, but at 10ft it's looks pretty good if I do saw so myself. All the bevels were done with a chisel and sand paper.
