    It'll only last a few years before starting to rot. The benefit of doing it this way is that individual rods can be replaced as they rot, rather than having to redo the entire thing. But that requires constant maintenance. But OP said they knew what they were getting into by doing this.

    Some of the earliest materials that humans used were stone, clay, animal parts, and wood. And as civilization advanced, so did people’s capacity to handle these materials with more and more proficiency.

    From the primitive tools used by prehistoric tribes to the very advanced machinery we use today, woodworking has progressively developed over the ages. However, it transcends mere craftsmanship; it represents both a profession and a deeply fulfilling hobby.

    For people who choose to make it their livelihood, it is a timeless craft that demands precision, creativity, and dedication. Whether they are making custom furniture pieces or building architectural wonders, professional woodworkers shape and transform wood into functional pieces of art.

    For instance, there’s a stunning façade made entirely of timber in the Tamedia Office Building in Zurich, Switzerland. Designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, this innovative structure pushes the boundaries of conventional construction. It’s a striking example of how thoughtful design and material choice can create buildings that are both visually stunning and environmentally responsible.

    Had an uncle do this at his place. The important thing he learned is to direct a downspout over to the tree under the deck. The tightly fit wood was preventing the soil from getting enough moisture and almost killed the tree. But it's thriving now that he did a little rerouting

    That's a really good point. We have a western red cedar that we built a hot tub pad near. When we empty the hot tub (four or five times a year) the tree gets a really good watering (and yeah, it pretty well does soak most of it up as far as I can tell). We live just a little inland from one of the few temperate rain forests though, so the tree isn't even slightly short on water otherwise, but I still like to think we make up for covering a tiny bit of its rooted area... and also use the waterings to discourage the tree from trying to crack through the pad for water.

    For many individuals, the different types of wood are key to creating beautiful and useful pieces from raw materials. After all, you can’t just ax any tree and use it for woodworking. If you choose to work with hardwood, it usually comes from broad-leaved trees. The wood from these trees is dense, strong, and durable. These factors make it the ideal material for building furniture.

    Possibly the most common hardwood used in construction is oak: It is frequently utilized for cabinets, flooring, roofs, and buildings. Red and white oak are the two primary varieties; white oak is more frequently used to make furniture as it has good moisture resistance. When oak is properly cut, it doesn’t bend or twist out of shape.

    Now cherries are a robust and multipurpose timber. It’s a reddish-brown wood that is perfect for furniture and interior construction. And because of its environmentally friendly harvesting practices, cherries are typically among the most expensive hardwoods. But it provides woodworkers with ample material for crafting projects. The consistent grain patterns, uniform coloration, and improved density of cherries contribute to the overall aesthetic of the finished products.

    Maple is a light-colored hardwood. With tools like a hand lathe that you might have on your workbench, carving and manipulating maple is a breeze. Because of its toughness, maple is a common material for furniture like dressers and cabinets. As it stains easily, woodworkers can make it look like cherry or mahogany.

    Musical instruments like violins and guitars are also commonly made of maple. Drawer knobs and spoons made of maple are also quite popular.

    In general, hardwoods tend to be more expensive than softwoods. Softwood is usually obtained from cone-bearing trees such as pine and fir. They are often used in framing, interior paneling, furniture making, millwork, and outdoor construction.

    Their affordability, availability, and ease of workability make them a top choice for professional and hobbyists alike.

    Pine is a reasonably priced softwood that's frequently used in door frames and inside window sills. It's a fantastic material for construction because of its straight grain. Pine ranges in hue from light to golden. To prevent warping in the final goods, woodworking projects must use seasoned pine.

    To prepare pine for woodworking, it must be dried so that its moisture level is lower. Air drying can take many months to a year and is dependent on the natural breeze outside. But when it comes to kiln drying, it is a more regulated process that takes roughly days to weeks and uses specialized chambers to control humidity and temperature.

    Commonly utilized in projects requiring doors, beams, fencing, posts, and closets, cedar is a popular softwood. Its ability to withstand deterioration is one of its outstanding qualities. The aroma of cedar is well-known for its ability to keep insects away. Because cedar is lightweight, craftspeople find it both easy to work with and sturdy.

    Bout do I need this done in my kitchen. I got a Lazy Susan, but the shelving for it isn't even attached to the door like I thought it would be. It's really just useless to me! I do store my pots and pans there, though. But I wanted it for canned goods. Nope! Just taking up room in my pantry now. Ugh.

    Normally I'd agree, but then the majority of the inner décor would hang square - I think a "square" frame for a "diamond interior" might look better.

    Does it last use? I remember seeing a similar thing on YouTube and it ended up breaking in the first occasion of use, and the crafter got bruised. Epoxy isn't the best material for sports equipment. It might serve better as a decorative piece, it's beautiful.
