Popular Post Rob Posted March 8, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I have been trying to build some inventory for my next craft fair but seem to be selling it almost as fast as I can make it. Nice problem to have I suppose but still inconvenient! First off this pair of hearts cut from a rimu drawer box Then these horses from a Charles Dearing pattern. I started this one months ago but couldn't get around to finishing it. Once I got my new Hegner, I decided I had to finish it: I have cut this Beatles plaque before but this time enlarged it to 150% Then some more NZ hearts: and finally a Harry Potter wand turned from a length of old handrail. Not sure what the timber is but it is lovely. Thanks for looking, Rob jollyred, bobscroll, meflick and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gordie. Pretty well everything I cut is from reclaimed timber. I get a real buzz from turning someone's scrap into something beautiful. Fortunately I can pick up a lot of rimu fairly easily. It varies but some of the older heart rimu is truly spectacular stuff. Rob Gordster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
