Popular Post wombatie Posted April 5, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) This is the first box I have ever made and it was for my daughters cats ashes. I was not game to inlay the letters without a lot of practice. Anyway the wood is ....... opps I have forgotten, and the letters and paw prints are from 2.5mm bamboo. Marg THE WOOD IS IRONBARK.

munzieb Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Nicely Done, Marge! Wondered about the wood? Actually, you live in a part of the world that has access to woods we don't normally see in the US and Canada. Have you worked with some of these exotic woods and what type are they? wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wood was Ironbark. I have worked with New Guinea Rose Wood, that has a lovely finish. But my all time favorite to work with is Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras.

munzieb Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Marg, All those different wood types sound amazing. Can they be found in big box stores or do they come from specialty store? I'm going to have to check these woods out on the web. Thanks, and great cutting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Just checked out all the woods you listed and they are amazing! The rosewood is very similar to Padauk but the sassafras is totally unique with all its varied grain patterns. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they can only be found at certain places, usually the mill owners have there own stalls at various wood shows and thats where I pick up my wood. You may also want to check out Tasmanian Blackwood.
