Top job Denny. That looks great. Rob

Don, You should be able to open the zip file with Archive Manager. When you see the three files it contains, double click on the one that ends in .ttf and you should get a prompt to install the font. Rob

Great job there Tony. What a beautiful piece of work. Rob

Beautiful job. What a great truck. Rob

Great cutting. The oak makes it look a bit like an old sepia photograph. Rob

Excellent cutting Neil. A great collection of pieces there. Rob

Here are another couple of filigree hearts with painted mdf backers. The first is reclaimed Rimu, the second is a piece of scrap I was given. I think the donor said it was red oak? It was very tough to cut whatever it was. Both finished with BLO and Rustoleum semi-gloss spray. Rob

I have cut this pattern before but came across some 1/8" (3mm) mdf at the recycling centre recently so cut this again with a painted backer. Finished with BLO and Rustoleun semi-gloss.

Thanks all, especially Russell for the awesome pattern. It was probably the most challenging piece I have attempted so far. I'm sure others would improve on my efforts but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I need to work on hiding my access holes a bit. Maybe spiral blades would help with a pattern like this but I have yet to try them. @Len, Rimu is native to New Zealand. Here is a link to a wikipeda page about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacrydium_cupressinum. It is very common here although now protected and was also known as red pine. Sapwood is easy to cut but the older heart Rimu can be tough as nails. I have had pieces catch fire from concentrated seams of pitch in the wood when cutting before now. Heartwood can come off the saw with a silky smooth and polished appearance however with no further work needed. It is one of my favourite timbers and I get a lot of it from broken pieces of furniture or old floorboards at the local tip/recycling centre. Rob

Cool idea Travis. I think 1pm PST Easter Sunday is 5pm Easter Monday here in NZ. Will have to see if I can drop by. Rob

Turtle cut from reclaimed Rimu and finished with BLO. I will give it a coat of wax or Rustoleum semi matt once it has dried a bit more. Pattern by Birchbark. Rob
