Popular Post Rob Posted December 6, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted December 6, 2018 The first couple I made sold quickly so here are another three I hope to sell this weekend. Cut from reclaimed native New Zealand Rimu (aka Southern Red Pine) from old drawer boxes and finished with a semi-gloss spray. Thanks for looking, Rob Phantom Scroller, Scrolling Steve, Charlie E and 10 others 13 Quote

Rimu is lovely timber, now protected but I can often find bits here and there. Sadly people are ripping out rimu kitchens from the 1940's and 50's and installing chipboard units. Here is my latest haul I picked up for $30 ($24USD, $27CAN). Rob Phantom Scroller, spotsdad, Gordster and 2 others 5 Quote

Phantom Scroller Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 Neat work I made one for work and drilled holes in it to put some battery led lights in it and left it there for my fellow workers after I retired in August Roly Rob and meflick 1 1 Quote

JAC1961 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Posted December 7, 2018 Very nice! I printed this one out awhile back thinking it looked fairly straightforward. Then I took a closer look and haven't been brave enough to start it yet. lol Rob 1 Quote

I did modify the "Have yourself a very Merry Christmas" one to have stars in place of the snowflakes. I cut the snowflakes on the first one I made but decided they were too much trouble. And it's summer down here anyway! Rob JAC1961 1 Quote
