    Default Beautiful Aussie Timbers - another batch!

    Been busy with my latest batch of boxes which include a lovely mix of WA Sheoak, Ringed Gidgee, Coastal Banksia, Red Gum, Spotted Gum, Tassi Myrtle, Tassi Black Wood and
    Coach Wood to name a few.

    Very nice boxes, nice looking timber also. A bit hard to get good timber in Sydney I would imagine. Are the lids hinged or,..?

    Boxes look great.
    Can I ask what your preferred finish will be for these boxes please?

    I am currently in the process of making a jewelry box and looking for ideas.

    Cheers.

    On the contrary, there are a number of places to get special timbers, they just cost a bomb and a half!!

    Hi Fumbler, When I first started making small boxes about 5 or 6 years ago I went to Trend Timbers, you would know where that is. I think I spent about $300 and walked out with hardly any timber at all.

    Danish oil (or any oil type finish) makes the timber pop! I will also use hadwax oil as well on the lighter timbers.....

    I'm thinking about offering Verned 9mm marine ply with some of the timbers in 'tis post for sale to help other get some nice box lids....not sure how it would go though....

    Me personally, I'd certainly be interested in a "wiggywiggy prefabbed" box lid if the price was right and probably more suited on 6mm, rather than 9mm.

    New member and BURSTS onto the scene!

    Very nice boxes. Ringed Gidgee is one of my absolute favourites.

    Thanks for posting, these boxes are spectacular. They make my utilitarian finger jointed boxes look rather sad. All the best.
