TOP 80 best DIY wood products (for beginners)

home furnishings

Complex paintings made of wood are aerobatics.
Wood's best friend is epoxy resin. Although you will need a lot of it, it is worth it. Create an unusual pattern from small logs and fill it with resin. An interesting option would be to install a small colored light bulb inside before the resin hardens. You will be surprised when you see the result. Products combined with epoxy resin get a classy look and attract attention.

It is very easy to make toys for the New Year's holiday from wood. Saw various figures and glue photographs to them.

All this will add creativity to a cozy environment. Real craftsmen have bookends, try it, maybe you have talent too?

Benefits of working with wood

It is worth mentioning how exactly wood differs from other available materials:

Wood of various species has a soft, but quite durable structure. The internal base lends itself perfectly to a variety of processing techniques: firing, cutting, sawing.
For optimal work, no special skills or abilities are required; the master only needs to be able to handle certain sets of tools.
Wood, even without decorative finishing, gives finished products an excellent natural shade.
A large collection of ready-made projects and a wide range of products available for work.

Craftsmen today have free access to detailed instructions, video tutorials on how to carry out creative work, diagrams and interesting drawings. You can familiarize yourself with any of them on web resources for practical design, creativity and landscape design.

Features of working with the material

Wood, like any other natural material, is susceptible to various damaging factors. Excessive humidity, scorching rays of the sun, pests and fungi can quickly destroy the structure of the wood surface, leading to rot and cracks. As a result, appearance, shape, and size are lost.

Such a craft can no longer fully fulfill its aesthetic or practical functions. To avoid such problems, a number of features should be observed when working with the material:

Before starting creative work, the prepared material is carefully inspected for cracks, sharp chips, nicks, pest passages and fungus.
Sharp edges are cut down and sanded with sandpaper.
Absolutely all wooden surfaces must be subjected to high-quality impregnation with an antiseptic, antipyretic, moisture-resistant and antifungal compounds. This approach allows you to significantly increase the possible service life of a decorative product.
An additional protective layer can be created by applying stain and then transparent acrylic varnish. In addition, this technique gives the wooden surface a pleasant glossy shine and stylish appearance.

To fasten the prepared parts, both strong glue and self-tapping screws, metal corners, and nails are used. It is important to ensure that when working along the outer contour there are no protruding sharp edges that can lead to injury (especially for children).

Caring for company products

Avoid exposure to sunlight, wipe the products with a damp cloth, and monitor changes in temperature and humidity in the room.

What can be used for wood crafts

Almost all known species can be used as a starting material for making cool wood crafts. The forms of wood material that are at hand in everyday life can also be different:

Beautiful stumps in good condition, cut from garden plots and kept well in a dry place, can become the basis for the manufacture of a unique piece of country furniture.
Solid wood in the form of bars, which are used to build houses or utility rooms on sites, can be suitable for carvings that decorate the facade of a building or the interior.
Crafts made from wood cuts of various thicknesses and diameters are a material for solving many technical and decorative problems.
Boards, as well as their small waste, can become a tempting basis for the imagination of a person endowed with artistic imagination.
Scrap plywood often lies unused in many thrifty homeowners' pantries, and many useful items can be made from it.
The whimsical natural shapes of branches and snags found during a walk in the forest or park will be good material for realizing creative ideas.
Finishing veneer always remains in the form of scraps after working with furniture. Don’t rush to throw away the leftovers, as you can make interesting crafts out of them.

To make all kinds of wood products, various blanks can be useful, such as pallets, slats, cut pieces of bars or branches, beautiful tree roots.

Manual milling machine: methods of operation

Depending on the type of processing performed, the choice of working methods with a manual milling cutter depends. The following is a presentation of how to use a hand router (training video), methods and techniques.

Techniques for working with a hand router: forming grooves

When forming a groove from the very edge, the tool should be installed so that the cutter hangs over the edge of the product. Next, it is lowered to the required depth and fixed, after which the tool is put into operation. After processing the edge to the end, you need to loosen the lock, raise the cutter, and the tool motor can be turned off. The formation of a blind groove is done in exactly the same way, only it does not start from the edge of the product.

A deep groove is formed by adjusting the new depth of the cutter with each approach to the area being processed, with a depth of no more than 5 mm, when processing the last layer - no deeper than 1.5 mm.

Additional methods for forming grooves and lessons on working with a hand router (video in Russian) are presented below.

End surface processing

Working with a hand router on wood (video below) is often accompanied by processing of the end surface, which requires a clean edge. To do this, a shallow cut is first made, while the electric milling machine moves in the direction of rotation of the knife, and then against its rotation. After this, the end will acquire clear outlines.

Processing using templates

To form curved edges, templates with a thrust ring are used, which is a plastic plate that moves along the template for the correct trajectory of the cutter. The thrust ring is attached to the router base using special fasteners. Using templates, you can copy wooden parts in the required quantity.

Which tree to choose for work

For independent work, you can use a variety of forms of wood:

Solid wood in the form of timber. Similar material is used for arranging baths and saunas. But for craftsmen, the bars are a valuable basis for creative pursuits.
Beautiful stumps. A real stump with preserved bark and intact inner pulp is a real boon for DIY work.
Wood cuts. Crafts made from wood cuts can also be used to decorate children's playgrounds, decorative decoration of a summer cottage, apartment and private property.
Branches and driftwood. An excellent material that allows you to give your crafts the most realistic shape and decor.
Veneer. A finishing material used for decorative pasting of a number of surfaces. After repairs, you should not dispose of the remaining parts - they can be successfully used for creative activities.
Plywood. Pressed sawdust can also be conditionally classified as wood for making crafts at home. In addition, plywood sheets will undoubtedly be found in the household of any zealous owner.
Crafts made from boards can decorate your home or children's playhouse.

For independent work, you can use small blocks, wooden pallets, slats and many other forms of wood blanks. Crafts made from tree roots in a wide variety of variations have a special style and original decor.

How to choose the right material

Instructions on how to create crafts from wood.

The appearance of the craft depends on the quality of the harvested branches. What is important is the color, appearance, and the absence of visible defects and damage.

The main thing to pay attention to:

no resin;
For some crafts, good flexibility of branches or twigs is important;
We discard parts of the tree damaged by plant pests; they are not suitable.

To maintain the environmental friendliness of the area and not harm the trees, it is better to collect fallen branches or use branches after pruning trees.

DIY wood products

Furniture

From time immemorial, carpentry has been a man's domain. Simple items for the home or wood crafts for the garden can be made without any special skills. The main thing is to stock up on the necessary tools, materials, and a little bit of enthusiasm, and you will succeed.

Decorative driftwood

There are a huge number of ideas on how to make a stylish piece of decor from ordinary driftwood. Various versions of them often appear on the Internet among photos of wood crafts.

If you place small pots with soil in a hollow snag, disguise them with moss, a stand on which the snag will be placed, decorate with beautiful small pebbles and dry blades of grass, you will get a real mini flowerbed. It will be even more beautiful if the potted plants bloom.

Candlestick

Make a wooden craft with your own hands in just 5 minutes? Easily!

Prepare 2-3 dozen straight branches of the same length. If desired, paint them with any paint, or leave them as is, in their natural form.

Degrease a pot-bellied, short glass. Starting from the bottom, glue the blanks vertically in a checkerboard pattern. Leave to dry.

Bird feeders

There are many ideas on how to make this product for birds. The most original option are feeders made of wood. Its natural scents will complement the noble idea, which aims to help birds feed themselves in the winter season. The feeder has a harmonious image with tree branches.

Games

You can make a board from a piece of wood as a base for playing tic-tac-toe. The smallest parts of this game are also made from wooden cuts. A flat wooden canvas is drawn into squares.

In small wooden circles you should draw circle shapes and crosses. Other well-known games are chess, checkers, and so on. Photos of DIY wood crafts will help you when working with the technique.

Frame

Easy wood crafts.

Note!

A decorative frame made of twigs for a photo frame or mirror will perfectly highlight the style of the room.

Several decorative elements made from other materials - pearls, decorative stones, twine, colored glass beads located among the branches - will highlight the beauty and naturalness of the tree.

Slingshots for aesthetes

Slingshots can create enormous scope for creativity. Some craftsmen follow the path of creating toy slingshots, for example, making them in the form of colored pencils, while others strive to turn the slingshot into a presentable souvenir. If the former are made for petty pranks, then the latter are for “satisfying the sense of beauty.”

An example of the latter is a hickory slingshot called the BCX, which was clearly designed with not just little boys in mind, but their dads as well. Polished coating, unusual shape, comfortable grip - even holding such a weapon in your hands is already pleasant, let alone shooting. In addition, there is no need to hurt someone - the slingshot comes with a target, which seems to imply that you only need to shoot at it.

Shelf

Make a shelf even lighter than a stool. Cut a piece of the required length and width from a solid piece of wood, sand it and open it with varnish or paint. Let it dry.

If the shelf turned out well, you can watch a video master class on creating crafts from wood and try to make more complex structures.

Flowers made of wood

Wood is one of the easy-to-work materials for home crafts. Since ancient times, craftsmen have covered furniture, frames, and household utensils with floral patterns.

Some turned out to be more skillful in conveying the natural beauty of a rose or cornflower in a wooden craft, while others stylized simpler and more unified images.

But every attempt to cut a whole flower from a wooden blank leaves interesting results. Each master creates his own technology for creating a flower from wood.

You can see photographs of complex roses, which, like living ones, decorate mirror frames or crowns of furniture sets. There are works assembled by analogy with a construction set, from individual parts, petals, branches for the trunk.

For these purposes, shavings and veneer are used, which, after gluing in a certain order, can be painted in different colors and coated with a protective varnish.

Crafts for the garden

A variety of wooden crafts for the dacha will perfectly complement the exterior of the site.

The simplest option for using wood would be an ordinary bench.
For this, two thick logs are useful, on which a thick board is fixed.
The simplest bench is ready.

More experienced craftsmen can add a backrest and armrests or decorate it with carved columns.

A table and stools made of thick stumps will look cozy, and children will certainly love a treadmill made of wooden posts. They just need to be dug deeper into the ground or installed on a concrete pad.
An unusual path made from saw cuts will decorate any area. You can create it in the most ordinary way or decorate the lawn with it, laying out wooden circles at some distance from each other.

A wooden bridge installed over a low flower border or over a dry stream, a cart with bicycle wheels, a decorative well made of small logs, a house for a gnome or a mill will look elegant.

Watch

Drill a medium-sized round cut in the middle. Sand and varnish. After the workpiece has completely dried, attach the clock mechanism to it. Paint the dial with acrylic paint. That's all. The clock is ready.

As you can see, the craft is very simple to perform. The biggest difficulty you will face is the need to obtain a working clock mechanism.

Animal figurines

Original wooden crafts for the garden often depict recognizable, stylized animals or birds. From several saw parts you can easily make a figurine of a hare, bear or owl. More complex three-dimensional sculptures of animals are one of the most difficult types of creativity.

For more realistic images, it is necessary to study photographs of the selected animal, make preliminary sketches of the future work and choose the right type of wood so that too soft wood does not crumble in the most delicate places.

The most common figure among carvers at all times was the bear. Its massive figure without complex elements is easily cut from a single block, hemp or thick board.

The imagination of carvers also often turns to stylized figurines of elephants, which decorate many interiors. It is a little more difficult to carve birds with open wings, but you can learn patience as you work on each feather of an eagle or falcon's wings.

Crafts that glow with love.

Here are the simplest and cutest country crafts made from wood. For the craft, you need to cut a log (ask when you are sawing the firewood with a grinder to make several thin cuts). Or you can do it without cutting - just take a board of any size.

We drill holes in the wood so thick that a store-bought glass pebble will fit into it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gift department, and in the department where there are candles, vases and everything for holiday decor.

You can simply drill such holes with glass into a board and hang it on an apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun shines into it at least once a day at a low angle.

That's very beautiful. Magically. Like in fairyland. Your children will be delighted with this wooden craft.

Crafts from tree branches

If a hobby has become a part of your life, you can replenish your supply of branches on every walk. The material is lying under your feet in the literal sense of the word.

Crafts for children

All kinds of toys for little ones have always been in demand as environmentally friendly products. They were used to make cars, cubes, construction sets, figurines of people and animals. An interesting wooden craft for children in the form of a dollhouse with opening doors and windows.

A decorative fence for a house can be made from thin, flexible branches. Recently, beautiful and easy-to-make wall decorations, made from sawn timber with smooth pebbles glued onto it, creating a certain theme, have become popular.

The entire work is completed with colorful lines and fragments, and then varnished.

Using boards

You can make wooden crafts with your own hands from an ordinary board. This:

Ordinary and painted cutting boards (you can decorate them using burning or decoupage techniques);
Tabletops (on a large board you can even create an imitation of a stream or pond);
Various shelves.

In this case, the shelves can be installed on conventional fasteners or hung on belts or thick twine, clothesline or rope.

You can even use small logs, installing them like a log house. As you can see in the photo of wooden crafts, such cute decoration elements create a cozy mood and are used to decorate rooms in rural styles.

Unusual solar boards will be a good decoration.

This master class on creating wood crafts is particularly simple:

The wooden board is carefully sanded.
Small through holes are drilled in it.
Pieces of multi-colored glass or glass balls are inserted into the resulting gaps (they can be purchased at craft stores).

The sun's rays, passing through multi-colored elements, will color the room in an unusual way, giving it cozy warmth and comfort.

From small boards you can put together a cozy flower pot for home flowers.

Hangers made from boards will decorate the hallway. A minimalist design will be created by simple smooth boards with ordinary hooks. For a rural style, the original shapes of boards with wooden pegs are more suitable.

Decoupage napkins are designed to decorate simple wood. Although even a simple tree will look very nice.

Small tablets will become the basis for an original clock. It is enough to mark the dial and install the clock mechanism.

A funny wigwam for a cat will be created by three boards fixed at an angle of 60 degrees.

Use of logs

The simplest log from the forest will be an excellent material. Of course, a large log is unlikely to be useful in an ordinary apartment, but its parts can become an original pencil holder. You can do it by simply making the corresponding holes with a drill.

A cute candlestick made from a log will decorate a table or bedside table before the New Year.
And thick logs can serve as a bench in eco-style.

Where to start woodworking

From time to time I get asked how to get started with woodworking and what tools I would recommend for this.
I can't give you any advice on which tool brands are better or worse. Most of my instruments were not chosen according to any particular principle. The brand I had already tested had a slight advantage. The determining factors were the price and appearance of the instruments. My tools are not the best available, but they are good enough.

Where to start?

But where do you start processing wood?
What machines are needed for this? My opinion is that you need to start woodworking with simple things, only then buy serious equipment. This is not a rule, it's more of a tip. I think it's better to buy some hand tools and start woodworking with them. After some time, you will gain experience with these tools and it will become clearer to you what tools will be needed in the future. This sequence will save you from the costs associated with buying a workshop and a lot of tools if you change your mind about woodworking.

To get started, you will need: a hammer, various screwdrivers, nails, several chisels, a hacksaw, a square, a work table, several clamps or clamps.

The first and most necessary tools are a drill and a jigsaw. These tools are used everywhere, not just in woodworking. You won't be able to make really good furniture with them, but they will be enough for some things.

There are many types of tools and a wide variety of prices. Sellers will offer you quality tools that will last you a lifetime. But the cost of ordinary tools can be an order of magnitude lower than not much higher quality and advertised branded tools. I recommend buying inexpensive tools to start with and using them until they break. Once they break, it’s time to think about buying something better. But unless you're a professional who uses tools every day, an inexpensive tool will likely last a long time.

The next necessary tool is a circular saw; cutting with it is much faster than with a hand hacksaw and the cut is much smoother. This is a very handy tool for cutting plywood, even if you already have a table saw. You only need enough tools to make this table or shelving unit.

You should try to make a desktop with your own hands. This will serve as good practice for you. We are building a workplace - you can look here.

Using the tools above, you can already tackle some basic projects:

Workbench workbench

Bed made of 2x4 inch timber

Simple table

Shoe shelf

Whatnot

Goats for cutting wood

Machine information

You may have a lot of hand power tools, but after those mentioned above, it's time to think about buying a few machines.
The most commonly used stationary machines are the drill press and the circular saw. For a long time I had an old and cheap saw and a very small drilling machine, but I made do with what I had. It's better to have a cheap drill press than none, so use what you have.

I can't say the same about the table saw. The cheapest table saws, which cost less than $200, are usually very poor quality and will never give you the ability to make a clean, even cut. Good table saws are much better, but they also cost more than cutting machines. A chop saw is a type of table saw with an open motor at the back. They can be made from cast iron and are good value for money. Hybrid table saws are also gaining popularity. They are built like chop saws, but with an enclosed motor, similar to mahogany saws. On the left you can see my first saw, from forty years ago, which I covered at the top to keep the sawdust inside. I'm currently using a hybrid table saw

To get a clean cut on your table saw, you need a quality cutting blade. On a machine with a good and high-quality cutting disc, you can obtain a cut surface that practically does not require further processing.

Using these tools and a band saw, I made this one. marble car. As you can see, you will have to work with a lot of tools.

A band saw is also a good machine, don't be afraid to use it. Of course, a band saw can cut off your fingers, but this is unlikely. I hurt my thumb with a bandsaw when I was a kid, but I took it out in time and the saw didn't hurt my thumb too much, so I didn't even have to bandage it. If a table saw intimidates you, then you can use a bandsaw to get started.

The band saw is also very convenient. It makes cleaner cuts than a hacksaw. This is one of the biggest advantages of band saws. I always choose this saw to make a clean and fast cut. It is good for cutting long parts. I actually bought my band saw before I bought my table saw. I saw it at a woodworking exhibition, I really liked the way it worked and decided to buy it. This was before I made mine.

Consider the following necessary electrical appliances. You will need a belt sander, this is a very necessary thing. Most woodworkers have a lot of sanders. In some cases, one type of grinder is convenient, in other cases, another type.

Many experts would recommend having a cut-off machine, but I always use a cut-off sled for this. Cutter saws don't have the rigidity to make a straight, clean cut, so I'm not a fan of them.

Your next purchase should be a jointer. You will need this machine to process parts in order to prepare them for close gluing. I would recommend buying a jointer before buying a planer, because with a jointer you can do almost everything that you can do with a planer. A planer is handy for cutting the piece to size, but again you can do this with a table saw. If you need to cut more wood than twice the jointer's maximum cut, you might as well use a table saw.

Tools I Don't Recommend Buying Initially

All the tools that will be described below, of course, have their uses. Perhaps the moment will come when they will really be needed. But if you are just starting to work with wood, then I would recommend that you purchase these tools last:

Cutting saw

Store shelves are full of different types of cutting saws. But before you buy it, think about how often you will use it. Sometimes, of course, it is absolutely necessary, but it is better to use a circular table saw. The complex design of the cutting saw makes it unreliable to use. Moreover, a chop saw cannot make a clean cut, while a regular saw can easily cope with this task, for a third of the price.

Using multi-machines

Be wary of machines that can be converted from one type to another. Multi-machines usually perform well in one or two functions, but others are questionable. But the biggest problem is that in order to perform a certain action, you will need to remodel the machine. And the cost of these machines is usually very high. For the same price you can purchase several other, ordinary machines.

Ready workplace

If you want to start working with wood, the first thing you need to do is take care of your own workspace. It's not very difficult. Building a Workplace Setting up your workspace is the first step in carpentry. If you do not master this stage, then think about whether you really want to work with wood? Perhaps you just want to cut out silhouettes of animals from plywood with a jigsaw, but this can hardly be called carpentry.

Nailer (construction) gun

Furniture should not use a lot of nails; if nails must be used, they can always be hammered in. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "If all you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail." Now, if you have a mortar gun…. what's next?

Goniometer machine

The protractor has a beautiful appearance, with colored anodized aluminum parts and copper buttons. But is this really what you need? Do you really think that a branded protractor made of sheet steel is less trustworthy than a solid aluminum one? I can disappoint you, because this is far from true. Make yourself good table saw guides and you won't need a protractor. Sled If you do a lot of 45 degree cuts, then get yourself a 45 degree guide for your circular saw.

Jigsaw

A jigsaw is good for cutting out various shapes and silhouettes, such as animals from wood, but for making furniture, it is simply unnecessary. Jigsaws, like Dremel tools, do have their uses in the craft. They are small for serious woodworking. However, it is worth noting that the Dremel tool is very necessary for sharpening drill bits, chisels, and band saw teeth. Forstner drill bits, and various blades, so they are really needed for this function.

Lathe

Using a lathe you can make good candlesticks and many other things. If you need rotation products, then a lathe is what you should spend money on. Some furniture projects require the use of a lathe. I'm not discouraging you from purchasing this machine, but please note that it is not as easy to use as a circular saw.

Pruning circular saw

This saw will allow you to make cuts that are not so easy to make with a table saw if you need to cut entire sheets of plywood.
But for the price of this saw, you can buy a table saw, which is more versatile and convenient. A pruning circular saw cannot replace your tabletop circular saw. Medium complexity projects:

website

What can you do on your site?

Fencing.

The fence is an important part of any site. And to make it, you don’t have to buy expensive materials; you can use the “gifts of the forest.” A picket fence made from branches collected in the forest will look original.

Fences are needed not only to surround your garden from the outside, but also to divide the space internally.

These can be slatted walls that will appeal to climbing plants, or flower boxes arranged vertically in a checkerboard pattern. This wall looks very beautiful thanks to the flowering plants.

Flowerbed.

This is the kind of craft that no garden can do without. But a stump left from a cut down tree, a log, or even an ordinary large log can become a flowerbed. But you will have to arm yourself with a chisel and a hammer to hollow out a recess in which the flowers will then grow.

You can make it simpler and decorate a ready-made flowerbed with twigs or neat bars.

Bridges.

The decorative bridge will delight both children and adults. You can even dig an artificial pond for it, but even without water such an element will look quite natural.

Track.

Ordinary paths instantly change the impression of your dacha or garden. Neatly designed paths help create the “face” of the site.

And making them is as easy as shelling pears:

It is enough to prepare tree cuts and collect pebbles from the shore of the nearest body of water. At the same time, the cuts do not have to be the same diameter - it will be even more interesting if they are different, but the thickness should be the same.
Don't forget to first dig a trench (its depth should not exceed 10 cm) and fill it with sand.
Cuttings, pebbles, earth are laid on top, and lawn grass seeds are planted.

Imitation of metal surface

This method, unlike the previous ones, does not emphasize the beauty of wood, but transforms it, “transforming” it into metal. Such tricks can be useful for interiors in a variety of styles - from industrial to Victorian. You can make a stool with “copper” legs, give the bedposts the look of aged bronze, or simply paint a photo frame “gold.”

There are several methods for turning wood into metal. The most difficult, but also the most “honest” is to use gold leaf, the thinnest sheets of real metal. The easiest one is to buy metallic spray paint. However, technology must be followed here too: so that the object does not give away its nature, the paint will have to be applied in several layers, sanding down the intermediate layers.

Tips for beginners on working with wood

When you decide to assemble the product yourself. Be sure to find a diagram or photo of the assembly on the Internet or in books. Thanks to this, you will not waste extra time and materials for manufacturing. Now it seems to you that it is simple, but in reality everything is more complicated. The main thing is to believe in yourself and not give up. Once you have assembled a birdhouse, you can easily assemble another one. This rule applies to any wood products, the main thing is not to forget the assembly and creation technology.
Don't be afraid to take on difficult ideas. You will gain a lot of experience, which is very useful.
To make the task easier, you can buy electric tools. But this will not betray the ambience of physical work
If you have made a birdhouse, bench, stool and other structures. Find a use for them. Take the birdhouse to the forest and attach it to a tree. Place the bench in the garage or country house.
Constantly improve your technique in this difficult task. This is important especially for experienced craftsmen. Now it’s easy to learn, find various videos and practice.
Don't be afraid to show your products to others. There are often people who are ready to order interesting wooden crafts. Put all your strength and love into such products and be sure that your customers' friends turn to you. And friends of friends will order a whole set of furniture for their home.

Aging

In interiors in the Provence or shabby chic style, interior items should not look new, and you have to give them a shabby look with your own hands. The minimum tools you need to age things are paints, sandpaper and patina. Apply paint in several layers, remove some of the paint with sandpaper, darken the corners with patina - and now the thing looks as if you inherited it from your great-grandmother. By the way, try to turn this into a game and come up with a new piece of furniture with its own story: how it appeared in the house, who owned it before, why it was painted this or that color.
