Log Furniture Making Tools
How to make log furniture
We get a lot of questions about what tools can be used to make our log beds. There are several possibilities depending upon how much you want to spend, how quickly you want to build and how much effort you want to put into it.
The mortise is a hole created by a drill and the tenon is the whittled down end that fits in the hole.
Consider:
- After you have received your plans and collected the wood you will need to cut the material to length, drill holes, create tenons and assemble.
- A quicker and easier approach is to use a tenon maker. This is a tool that attaches to a drill and works like a big pencil sharpener.
- A basic tool that will make tenons is a drawknife. It will be hard to be precise and your project will take longer, but if you only have a small project then this may be the tool to try first.
