I went to see Sean at MBE Morayfield… they did the sign on the van… and got a banner for the back of the gazebo I use at the Markets…
It sized up proportionally perfectly… a couple of elastic straps to help keep it taut…
As if I do not have enough timber already… but I was tempted when I dropped by Boutique Timbers at the Brisbane Timber and Working with Wood Show last Friday.
The owner Mal did a good deal on some hairy oak, zebrano and what he said was snakewood… not real sure but it was sure pretty…
More on the reason for these exotic in the next post…
Sorry for all the suspense but it has been a long time coming..
Pics below..
Now what the heck am I going to make with these splendid timbers… You will just have to wait… till tomorrow then… Lazy Larry signing off…
Yes, you read correctly… number 14…
I bought a new Triton router on Friday…
Why?
I will reveal that in the next post…
Here is a pic unwrapping the bright orange monster…
More on the reason for purchasing one and the features and benefits of owning one..
This rather large second generation board started out as stripes cut at 50 degrees and glued up as shown below.
After squaring up and cutting a second time at 25 degrees …
The finished board…
I made this cheese board a few weeks back..
Scented Maple for the knot … Jarrah for the background… and Mari for the border..
Size 350 mm or for our American cousins over the ditch…14 inches…
Made for my friend Peter as a present for his Daughter [in law?]
Next post will be the second generation Chevron board … also made for Peter…
Not all my work is with timber… I do some engraving and cutting of acrylic.
The following is some engraving on clear acrylic …covers for a friend who sells small goods at a local market…
I engraved the name and ingredients…
Photos were taken late in the morning …. most of the goods had been sold…
Trev Gaskell and I were cutting some slabs of Camphor Laurel for some cutting boards I had on order..
This was the end of one…
And this was the end of the other…
I actually went to Dulux but they don’t use the sheep dog in their commercials anymore…
PITY…
