Offcuts turned into More Fund Raisers and gifts for someone..

Dean at Living Timbers in Penrith had some "give away" offcuts of small Camphor Laurel slabs.

They were about 30-35mm thick and big enough for serving boards, so I ripped the board in the bandsaw then put them through the thicknesser.

These pieces were offcuts of the previous boards which I have biscuited and glued together after attempting to book match them.

With such good figure and colour I had to try to use these offcuts.

I used slow epoxy to fill the voids and cracks but on the prettier of the boards I was disappointed with the result as there were lots of fine cracks and pinholes after the initial sanding. 

I have a pack of "IceEpoxy" resin, but haven't as yet been game enough to use it, but I think now is the time to start that learning process.

There was lots & lots of sanding, filling with epoxy plus Starbond CA the polishing with "Food Grade" Kustom Grit Step#1.


They came up okay and should do good [I'm my own worst critic] .

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

I love the grain on those ones with the knots.
Nice use of the drops.

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.

Looks great Peter, the knots look like eyes looking right back at you. Well done, hope they bring in some good funds.
