Timber Sample Collection
For years I have been collecting different timbers available in Australia.
I now have about 100 different species in my timber rack.
One of my souvenir product lines is timber bookmarks, which could readily lend themselves to the alternative use as a collection of timber samples.
I have mainly Oz timbers but there are a few introduced species included.
I am wondering if anyone is interested in a collection of about 100 timber samples. I won't know the exact quantity or the total cost of a collection until I catalog all the timbers I have but the cost will be $2.50 per sample.
Finish.
I finish my production bookmarks with lacquer or poly, and am inclined to finish the timber collection with lacquer on one face and orange shellac on the other face. I expect it will help our clients make their timber selections a bit easier when they commission pieces from us.
I think a finish is desirable to prevent the wood color changing due to oxidisation of a raw timber surface.
Comments about the type of finish are invited
Apologies for the commercial nature of this post. But I hope some members will find the opportunity worthwhile.
Eventually when I get around to it I will setup my website.
