BIG STUFFThis is specifically for those who make the bigger things. Furniture in general, tables, wall units... You know BIG stuff.
No pens, no little boxes, no little clocks, no little toys, etc.
If its big and you've made it or are working on it or intend to make it then here's a place especially for you. Show us your stuff.
This has been my effort for this week, 6 bench seats/stools for an office lunch room in Pyrmont. Blackbutt with Tasie Oak side rails. Held together wiith 16mm dowels, glue. No screws or nails. Another coat tomorrow and out they go.
Yes HW thats some of it, some I have moved to a small storage shed and some is hiding there in the back ground ready to start on. I have to make a small keepsake box for a 21st in the next couple of days and then it's back into the Blackbutt.
Hi claw ,are you going to have any of that blackbutt leftover that you may want to sell, as Im looking to makemyself a little coffee table,if so how dry is the timber ?
Could be some bits left over. Most will be about 450 wide, varying lengths, thickness will be ranging from 40 - 75mm. Moisture content also varies quite a bit, the thicker pieces are not effected much by the moisture content were as thinner pieces will shrink and could warp etc. Let me know what size you're thinking and I will see what I can find. I may also have another order comming through were I could add some to it for you.
Hi Claw When you say the moisture content varies, are you not concerned
about the timber shrinking & possibly ruining your finished project 6 to
12 months down the track. I dont think if I went to all the trouble of making my coffee
table that I could sit around with my fingers crossed hoping it did not fall apart at the
glue joints because the timber was not properly dry?
HW, you can work with green timber you just have to be aware of which way and how much etc it might move. Make you joints tollerant in case there is movement. Seal your timber well and chances are very good you won't have a problem.
