Deer cuttings seem to sell well for me and as we are in the middle of the "Roar" I thought I would cut this one again.  Pattern is by Gayle from Scroller's Cafe.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Jes.  Pretty well everything I cut is from recycled timber.  I am lucky in that I can often find old drawer boxes in native New Zealand Rimu which I buy up for about $5 each.  Rimu can vary quite a lot in appearance from dark red to yellowish brown with streaks to quite a pale bland sapwood.  Usually I will finish a piece by dipping it in  Tung oil or Boiled Linseed Oil mixed 50/50 with white spirit (mineral spirits in US) which brings out the colour and grain.  Just for fun, here is a picture including one of the cutout pieces so you can see what a transformation the BLO makes. 

 

If you do decide to try BLO please read up on safety first.  Rags  or paper towel soaked in linseed oil can spontaneously combust!
