I love this. Instructables user wholman has gathered together a bunch of scrap wood from “dumpsters, back alleys, vacant lots, abandoned buildings, recycling yards, and architectural salvage centers” and laminated it together using all-thread. Then he’s very carefully smoothed and polished only one side of the finished block, leaving the underside rough to show off the process. Beautiful.

about the lead content? Just curious…

Neat project!
The unfinished underside is a nice touch.
@WorryWart- the only lead danger might be from older flaking paint on the underside. Sould that be sealed up, I imagine the lead exposure danger minimal to nonexistent.
Looking at the gloss, there might be a coat or two of sealant on the bottom. Screws/nails visible on the end cut is a neat touch also.
That is a great idea. I love the fact he left the underside alone. There is something incredibly humbling about being able to see a soft of before and after with a piece!
