Saved From the Fire! - Reclaimed Live Edge Book Ends

These live edge book ends were destined for the fire pit, but I was able to save them and make something useful. I love using scraps and when they turn into something great like these live edge book ends, even better!

Cool little bookends! Love the character in those burl pieces

[@BruceAUlrich]

That grain is bonkers!

[@StephenGoggin]

Nice! I really dig the industrial look of the pipe with the natural look of the wood.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks! That something a bit different for me. I usually see industrial stuff with en, sleek lines. Mixing the natural and industrial appealed to me.

[@StephenGoggin]

@@BruceAUlrich I think you nailed it sir. It’s even more impressive knowing you went outside your comfort zone with it.

[@goali3903]

Cool idea Bruce. I love how the different materials come together and compliment each other.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Well, Thank you! I wasn’t sure at first but I agree!

[@WorkshopGreg]

That's pretty sweet, Bruce! Clever use of an gnarly Burl.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks, Greg! Glad I could make something out of it rather than throwing it in the fire

[@shopcatt643]

Great use of small wood scraps!

[@BruceAUlrich]

I love finding these little uses for scraps. It's so satisfying!

[@GGGG_3333]

Those are really beautiful 👍👍

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much!

[@Hatchmade]

Very cool. Definitely inspired me to use my scraps more efficiently although having a campfire with the kids is probably a pretty effective use as well.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Yeah, you have to find that balance. ha ha. I do like some good firepit time with the family. Thanks for watching!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Bruce! They turned out amazing! 😃 Really well done!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@BruceAUlrich]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching.

[@bytesizedengineering]

Nice looking book ends!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Appreciate it, Zach!

[@nywoodworx]

Very cool project Bruce …… nice video as well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BruceAUlrich]

Appreciate that very much!

[@michelleharris2194]

Nice job, I like how you problem solve along the way

[@BruceAUlrich]

Hey, thanks!

[@rodpotts2666]

Those turned out cool!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much, Rod!

[@brucegibson8053]

Good work Bruce, burl wood is a tough one to work with.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you! Apparently, those screws did not appreciate it.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Really cool project and video - and I'm not just saying that because of the X-Acto shoutout haha! I love the way the organic shape of the wood contrasts with the pipes...super cool look!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks, Ethan! Yeah, I thought the live edge with metal was a cool look.

[@Wordsnwood]

You can just frame that wood and display it as is.... nice figure!

[@BruceAUlrich]

I agree...once that lacquer went on, you could really see the art of it.

[@mcmathwoodworks]

These turned out looking pretty cool! I like the character in the burls mixed with the industrial style of the piping! I have a question though… Using brown paper bag to the nibs the lacquer is a good idea, but does it change the sheen of the finish? Did you have to reapply afterward, or was it good to go afterward?

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you! It does burnish them a little to use brown paper bag. However, I sprayed one very light coat on top after using it and then just barely use the paper where needed at the end. It didn't seem to make it very shiny at all. This was not flat to begin with, but rather satin, so it had just a little shine anyway.

[@mcmathwoodworks]

@@BruceAUlrich Cool! Good to know, thank you!

[@BigLousWorkshop]

Project turned out great as usual my friend … however it bothers me greatly that none of those books are in the correct order!! 😎🤣🤪

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ha. True. I blame my oldest. He read them last and I just grabbed them from the shelf.

[@BigLousWorkshop]

@@BruceAUlrich darned kids!!! BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[@BruceAUlrich]

I’m glad I could share it with him. He loved them

[@BigLousWorkshop]

@@BruceAUlrich oh no doubt my man!! My sister is chomping at the bit waiting on her little ones to get old enough for her to introduce them to these series!!
