Popular Post Rob Posted December 6, 2018 Popular Post Report Share 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 amazingkevin, tomsteve, frankorona and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 spotsdad, Gordster, Phantom Scroller and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC1961 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
