    Default Key rings turned with timber from the $2 shop!

    I work at the reject shop and we sell these "garden stakes" I have had my eye on them for some time as each stake is a different bit of timber, so I bough a pack(only $6), cut up some blanks and this is what turned out! If anyone can identify the timber it would also help

    Question

    Chinese Hoonoze. It's Chinese but who knows what it is.

    Useful project.
    Might I suggest some attention to the finish?

    Great job on the key rings. Someone off cuts used as steaks now created key rings. I have also been thinking this way but at the moment I have enough small pieces of wood to last for a little while.

    Gday.

    Just stumbled across this thread.

    I followed the Missus into the reject shop the other day.
    They had some chopping boards in there for $10 that looked like pretty decent recycled wood.
    I was quiet surprised. Might have another look and try some for my desktop pieces I make.

    I turn lots of FOG wood, found on ground.

    In a furniture store I once asked what kind of wood a nice table was made from. The owner - a friend - said Tis Wood.

    WHAT!! As opposed to Taint Wood, he explained.

    Nice key chains.
    So much timber, so little time.
