Offcuts turned into More Fund Raisers and gifts for someone..
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.
Home - Living Timber Co
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] .
Cheers Peter
