Rob Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 I recently finished this plaque for my nieces wedding. Snowdrop Trivet and finally a business card holder for my upcoming craft fair. Pattern is by Steve Good. All cut from reclaimed rimu as usual and finished with BLO. Rob Fab4, lawson56 and New Guy 3 Quote

Len @Len I didn't keep a note of them but I think the surname Brougham is URW Bookman and the first names are Ave Fedan. Rob Quote

Rob Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 @Dan, Rimu is a native New Zealand timber that was used extensively for furniture and house construction. I buy broken old furniture or drawer boxes from our local recycling centre for most of my work and sometimes get lucky with beautiful pieces like this 4 foot by 1 foot board which I picked up for $1 NZ or 70cents US. I cut one of my Tui plaques from it and have enough leftover to make another couple. Wikipedia has more information on Rimu here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacrydium_cupressinum and Google images has lots of pictures too. Rob Quote
