Rob Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I have cut this pattern by Birchbark before but in pine. For a long time I have wanted to re-do it in something better and finally got around to it. Reclaimed Rimu as usual finished with 50/50 BLO. Thanks Russell for the beautiful pattern.

wombatie Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Beautiful. It seems that no matter what you cut from Reclaimed Rimu it always looks fabulous and expensive. Marg Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birchbark Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 That looks fantastic! That Reclaimed Rimu is such a nice wood, and you did a great job of cutting it. I really like that wood, strange i've never even heard of it before you started showing it to us. Thank you for showing this to us.

Ron Johnson Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Beautiful work Rob and very well done and finished. I understand the Rimu wood is grown in New Zealand and is noted for its beautiful grain and taking on a fabulous finish. Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Very nice cutting and very nice pattern. Thanks for explaining Reclaimed Rimu. Thanks Les. Rimu is a native New Zealand timber which is now protected. I get all of my wood from the Council recycling centre where I buy old drawer boxes or bits of broken furniture, headboards, floorboards whatever I can find. I get a great kick out of turning someone's scrap into something beautiful. Rob Birchbark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Beautiful cutting. I too just love this pattern and one day will get one cut (I hope.) They are just works of art that to me speak volumes about the meaning to the holiday season. Thanks for sharing your photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
