What furniture will you make? Tables? Chairs? I think that would be very satisfying work.

Ah. The furniture making idea comes up on a regular basis because I can "see" what I want - I go shopping online, in person, look for artisans - and don't find what I see. Occasionally, a few years later - THERE it is. LOLOLOL.
But Hol & I have talked about this together. And it's still intriguing me. I'm a form follows function person, in design. Always have been. So think primitive, functional - and then the "purty" worked into the surface a little later. Both Hol & I are on the "less is more" path these days... expressing that differently. Style wise I'm leaning Industrial these days - with a whole lot of "Early Viking" touches. She's more modern - with a post-apocalyptic & shamanic twist.
So that's a future possibility, and maybe we only make stuff for US, to suit our unique spaces/wants. Who knows?
My favorite passed down heirlooms are a pair of handcarved, caned seat Oak chairs that made the trip to me, originating in Switerland. They even have turned spindles. It's kinda hard to imagine my ancerstors sitting on these kinda delicate things though; Grandma was 6 ft tall and 200 lbs. Thankfully, I got more my Dad's genetic make up, though I'm not gonna blow away anytime soon.
:D

I once asked for a Viking hairdo with a bit of hippie mixed in......
I got something very tall.... very 1960's beauty queen.
::shaking head::.
When you describe your potential furniture projects...... I picture a big plank table with amazing wood......and maybe something functional to hold a coffee station....... no chairs.
Chairs seem harder.

Around here logs tend to function as seats, side tables... benches... (w/ a board of course)....
and yes, chairs - traditional chairs - are difficult to design & assemble. But there are easier ways. :D (she says hopefully...)

Of course, hadda Google...

Only original thought I had is that you can make one slice of a lovely log beautiful just with sanding and finishing, and turn it into something special with LEGS.
Check out Etsy for gorgeous turned legs at a very reasonable price.
Have fun!
