The man who bought ten items at my last indoor craft fair tracked me down at my local outdoor twilight market last night. He had bought one of my NZ hearts and wanted another two but with NZ centred in the heart. So here they are, cut from rimu a friend of mine saved from a builders firewood pile from a cottage renovation. Finished with tung oil and beeswax. I had to enlarge the heart in order to centre the cut out and personally I think I prefer my original version but the customer is always right they say. Which do you prefer? Rob

Deer and doe cut from reclaimed rimu and finished with BLO and beeswax. Pattern by Gayle from Scroller's Cafe. I can't decide if this would be better with a backer or not. What do you think? Rob

This plaque is cut from reclaimed Rimu, finished with boiled linseed oil and an oil and beeswax topcoat. 21 cm x 14 cm or 8 x 6 inches approx.
