In this video, I demonstrate the process of making a bench from a very old oak log that once served as the foundation of an old clay house where my grandparents lived. Judging by the number of annual rings I could count, this oak tree was over a hundred years old when it was cut down, and as the foundation log, it lay there for nearly 100 years, so it is truly ancient wood. I hope that this bench will also serve people for many more years to come.
The edges of this oak log were quite fragile in places, so I decided to reinforce and fill weak spots with epoxy resin.
I'm happy with the outcome - the bench turned out strong and stable, it has historical value and preserves the memory of generations.
Taking the opportunity I want to remind to my subcribers that our fight for independence continues! Ukrainians have been defending their land from the russian aggressor for over 600 days. It's a tough, grueling war of attrition, but we steadfastly believe that victory will be ours!
Thanks to all our allies and partners who are helping Ukraine in our struggle for liberation from russian aggression.
Thank you all for watching!
Stay safe!
Glory to Ukraine!
