Three signs

[Rob]

First one is from a pattern by Sam Custodio and is I think native New Zealand Matai.

Then one from our very own Bobscroll but no idea what the timber is

And finally one that I don't remember where I got the pattern but in native New Zealand Rimu.

All timber is reclaimed from the side panels of old drawer boxes and finished with 50/50 BLO.

Thanks for looking,

Rob

Great show pieces well done!

[wombatie]

They are all fabulous.  Excellent work.  Unfortunately I have to drink decaf now because regular coffee gives me violent headaches.  It's a bugger getting older.

Hi Merlin,

These are cut from drawer side panels, not ply.  I don't know if Matai was ever used in furniture construction but the first one doesn't seem to be rimu and is much harder and denser which made me think of Matai but I am guessing!

You may be right never heard or seen in furniture, then it's the color of the piece.

Most Matai I have and some on my floor, (looking at floor boards) bugger you could be right some Matai on the floor has some coloring like your piece.

I have some 100 plus year old flooring board that was given me a while back and all heart no sap.

Now I'm confused, bugger
