Cacao Spoon


this spoon is made of a very special wood: from cacao tree, but not whatever cacao tree but wood of  probably the only cacao tree of Göteborg. From "Palm Huset", the beautiful green house of "Trägård'n". The gardener, a really nice man, gave me a waste piece( 2"diameter, 8" long )... Carved, polished and oiled with mineral oiled ended up like this!

Inner tubes Renovation

 One day Göteborgs theatre was trowing away two awesome armchair. I ask and took them home. One was in pretty good shape but the other one...

 I had replaced some broken pieces of the frame. but the biggest problem were the broken elastics wraps.
 
I replaced them with inner tubes and now this armchair is more comfortable than the other one.

Vinyl Parquet Ping Pong Rackets!!

There's a Pub they say across the street of Järntorget, where you can drink beer and play Ping Pong at the same time. But it's only during the Mondays, or I think so?It's really funny and there is a lot of people playing. But every time we got there, there is no more rackets to rent. So I made our own...With vinyls parquet rejects. Took me long time to find the material.
And now the pub is closed. Just the day before I was done. The one with a hole is cause:

"I missed cause there's a hole in my racket that's why!"

I even did ping pong balls. We tried them one night, they work but they are kind of dangerous.

Recycled ring and spray paint cap.

A friend was going to throw away a smashed ring so I did that with it and she loved it.
