What is the first one of the ornament order? Love the newfies and anchors. Rob

Beautifully cut and isn't it great to use salvaged timber! Rob

This is 14cm or five and a half inches square approx. Cut as usual from an old rimu drawer box and bottom finished with tung oil and shellac. Thanks for looking. Rob

Great cutting. I haven't seen that one before. Where did you get the pattern? Rob

Great job. He's going to love that. Rob

Thank you for the pattern Bob. I love a good trivet! Rob

8 inch trivet cut from a NZ native rimu drawer front, just under one inch thick. Pattern is by our very own Bobscroll and is in the pattern library. Each leaf should have five vein lines but I got lazy and decided not to do those. I think it still looks ok without them. Finish is 50/50 BLO and mineral spirits. Thanks for looking. Rob

Very cool! Rob

I'm guessing that is American Football but whatever it is, that is a great cutting. He's going to love it, I'm sure. Rob

Wow, those are great cuttings of an unusual pattern. Of the two, I prefer the blue, but maybe a different frame? Rob

You got me wondering what other countries still use Imperial.... https://www.zmescience.com/other/map-of-countries-officially-not-using-the-metric-system/

Great work Jim. I like them both. Very clean cutting. Rob

Great collection of work, really well cut and framed. Rob

Thanks Marg They are only small about 12cm or 4 inches approx but they sell well. Nice souvenirs from native timber. Rob

It is a New Zealand native timber also known as Southern red pine. Rob

Thanks Gordie. Pretty well everything I cut is from reclaimed timber. I get a real buzz from turning someone's scrap into something beautiful. Fortunately I can pick up a lot of rimu fairly easily. It varies but some of the older heart rimu is truly spectacular stuff. Rob

I have been trying to build some inventory for my next craft fair but seem to be selling it almost as fast as I can make it. Nice problem to have I suppose but still inconvenient! First off this pair of hearts cut from a rimu drawer box Then these horses from a Charles Dearing pattern. I started this one months ago but couldn't get around to finishing it. Once I got my new Hegner, I decided I had to finish it: I have cut this Beatles plaque before but this time enlarged it to 150% Then some more NZ hearts: and finally a Harry Potter wand turned from a length of old handrail. Not sure what the timber is but it is lovely. Thanks for looking, Rob

Personally, yes, I do apply weight then remove it and check for squeeze out. Then re-apply the weight and leave it to set. Rob

Very nice, and a cold beer too! Decisions, decisions.... Rob

Those are great Jim. I do like the colour in the college cuts. Rob

There is that Dave but then again that is the same whatever method you use to apply the glue. Rob

Thanks Frank. The sad thing is the old rimu kitchens are often being ripped out to install modern chipboard ones. It's criminal really. Rob
-
Jerry's idea was to spread glue on wax paper with a credit card and drop the cutting onto it RJ. It worked like a charm. Rob

A customer wanted one of my Tui plaques but as a coat rack so this one is cut oversize at 24 x 12 inches and 3/4 inch thick. Reclaimed rimu as usual, this piece was the side panel of a kitchen drawer unit. There were some marks and holes where the drawer runners had been but I was able to cut some conical rimu pegs and insert them into the holes before cutting them flush. Finish is several coats of hand rubbed linseed oil, mineral spirits and varnish mixed in equal thirds. The customer will mount their own hooks along the bottom. Thanks for looking, Rob

I just finished this plaque by Sue Mey and tried Jerry's method of applying the glue. Wow, what a timesaver! I'm a convert.
