John B Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thank you all, We have a small market this arvo from 1 - 4 pm, part of Boulder's 125 years celebration. We'll see how we go. @flarud The "church" is a pretty slow mover, but I enjoy cutting it as it is one of the more challenging of the patterns I have for these.

Millwab Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 John, are Radiata Pine and Jarrah native to Australia or another name for something available elsewhere? OCtoolguy and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Bruce, I believe that Radiata Pine is native to an area on the coast of California, but does not grow like it does in other places. I have seen it mentioned as Monterey Pine. There are huge plantations in Australia and new Zealand. It is used for almost all construction and building in Australia as well as for a lot furniture. we have very few soft woods. Jarrah is native to the South West of western Australia and is a very hard wood. I was used for all building, furniture, railway sleepers and even wooden cobblestones on streets in London. Unfortunately, because of it's great qualities (like everything else) it has been harvested until there are very few fully mature trees left. It also grows in the most fertile place of WA, so a lot was cleared for farming. I mostly use reclaimed jarrah from renovations etc. You are struggling to purchase a new piece over 4" wide and it costs your 1st born.

Charlie E Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Wow! That's a lot of beautiful work. I like the starry night church one. I'm surprised it's a slow seller. Now, if you lived here in what we call the Bible Belt of the U.S. it would probably be a hot seller. That way if you're sick and can't go to church, at least you can blow your nose on a more sacred tissue. No offence anyone. I can make these jokes. My father was a minister so I'm allowed.

Hi Charlie: I don't even want to hear about your sacred TP holder and what you do with it..........LOL you are right though, they are beautiful Fab4 John B and Charlie E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted August 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just goes to show, you never can tell. Usually it's the Roses that go quickly, hence two of them, but not this time, The Elephants and Robin sold. I was happy as the turn out was very small. I sold a few other things so it was good 3 hours. Fab4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
