I made sketches there, then did this 20 x 30cm woodblock print later at home.

My father-in-law had some old wood that he said I could use, so I decided to try to make a bookcase.
It took me a while, and I made lots of mistakes; one reason was because a lot of the wood wasn`t straight. However, I`m creative and - like my finished bookcase - flexible, so I discovered ways around this problem. Some of the techniques I used would make my high-school woodwork teacher`s pens explode from the top of his long socks like rockets if he knew, but in the end I`m pretty happy with the result.
The next big challenge is making my wife let me use it in the house...

Our bench at Ichinomiya Teragoya wasn`t actually trash yet, but it was showing some definite signs of age, as you can see.
Time for a make-over!
Our staff Yumi got wood from her kind husband, and I repaired the bench at home. It was pretty easy, but painting the wood (clear color) was a bit of a hassle.
Next time you visit our school, please try it - it`s free!

It can be as strong as steel, sharp as a knife, or so soft you can eat it! It`s useful for making all sorts of things, from boats to vases.
As you can see, my skill level is not high enough for the boat option yet, but this vase I made from bamboo looks pretty nice, don`t you think? I made it from bamboo I found on the beach at Mihama.
I stole the flowers from my mother-in-law`s garden.
