I've heard of green woodworking, but...

Where the heck did the green shavings come from???



I was browsing for ideas for a workbench base and saw this on plansnow.com.

That is light refraction, can't you tell?

No, wait, that is the limb with the leaves shaved off!

That is funny for them to post that!

I've been wondering also what that "stuff" could be:

1. Handplane was dull and didn't produce enough shavings so they swept in some yard waste.

2. The squared off piece of wood on the bench was really a tree trunk, that they debarked.

3. It could be skin shedding from the swamp monster who was working at the bench.

4. Bad lettuce that fell out of a couple of Whoppers they were having for lunch.

5. Torn up pages from the "Green Machine" instruction manual.

6. Probably not dog poo from the shop dog.

7. Remnants from a shredded green tarp used to cover bench in transport.

Other than this bench being a "one size fits all" type that's overpriced to begin with, it's probably not a bad bench if you like these sort of things. One thing though, the vise at the right looks a bit funny somehow, like something is missing.

I think I know now where the term 'Crapsman' came from...

Well, let's see....There's purpleheart (my wife's favorite, except for the price) and yellowheart (?), so maybe that's greenheart....

You guys took all the good responses.

The shop is in the basement of a pot house.

Hope it is a pot house in Sacramento. Maybe I could get the bench when they have the asset forfiture sale/auction.
