Rob Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Scrolling has taken a back seat of late while I have been turning pens. I had forgotten how much fun the lathe is but having picked up a second hand DW788 I thought I had better do something with it. This trivet is cut from the side of an old drawer box from a pattern found at craftsmanspace.com. No finish applied as yet.

merlin Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Very nice Rob....No dust control............ Got some single Rimu headboards given me today, and I thought of you. Do you have enough Rimu for pens I could find out the price of courier to send you some if you wood like....................

Rob I used to use a lot of drawer sides but finding quality ones that aren't too fragile stopped me from using them.You did a good job here.

Rob Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Very nice Rob....No dust control............ Got some single Rimu headboards given me today, and I thought of you. Do you have enough Rimu for pens I could find out the price of courier to send you some if you wood like.................... Thanks Merlin. I wear a mask when scrolling and clean up with a shop vac once in a while. It's very kind of you to offer some Rimu but I have plenty thanks. Pretty well everything I cut uses reclaimed wood from the recycling centre. Rimu seems to be the most common although I have found some oak, mahogany and some matai floorboards on occasion. A friend also gave me a big piece of Massa (aka Pacific Jarrah) which used to be a fireplace mantel which turns well. How are your pens coming along?
