A few more signs posted out recently including a rustic Cedar sign `Please keep the gate shut` to try and keep persistent wallabies out of their garden area at a holiday house in far north Queensland. It`s been reported that the sign isn`t working as the little rascal wallaby has managed to find its way through the fence anyway and is happily munching away at the garden again 😂...
This ADF Shield made from a slice of Ironbark tree. The natural shape was kept. A very hard timber to get perfectly flat for engraving especially end-grain. Took way longer than anticipated as usual but the result was worth it I think. Ironbark is a beautiful locally grown timber! I am excited to make a few boxes out of some pieces I have put aside to dry for a few years now (saved from the firewood pile). Let me know in the comments if you`ve worked with Ironbark before. And if you`re interested in going on the waiting list to be notified when I make some boxes soon (limited edition) please subscribe using the link below. The next 10 people on the list will have the first chance to own one. Just tick the box for boxes here to be notified. https://app.ohwo.com/lists/fb1806nb7l752/subscribe Or visit the wooden box page on my website to sign up. Link in bio....
Some box making underway again tonight in the workshop. This one is for aromatherapy oils and features a raised panel lid with insert rebate corners and a combination of Spotted Gum and Tasmanian Blackwood. Can`t wait to see it finished with Shellac tomorrow afternoon.
Also a few photos of a new jig I whipped up for doing the inserts. Much smaller than my other one which was cumbersome to use and difficult to attach to my sled....
Always great to get feedback like this. Thanks Tony! Glad to have helped create your memorial sign.
