Some Simple Lathe Jobs
Nothing is wasted, the legs of an old red cedar table make ideal source material for lathe turned cutlery handles.
What wood is that?
An online resource providing excellent photos of wood types aids my identification of timbers I'm recycling.
Don’t Just Throw It Out!
A table that others wanted scrapped turned out to be Australian Red Cedar and will now be upcycled into new projects.
Returning After Another Long Break
Construction work at the Church is now finished. 4 rooms, new toilets, kitchen & reception area added.

With my boards and platters I'm always on the lookout for good quality hardwood planks. Community sales forums can often provide old furniture that is made from timber that meets this need.
What to do with scraps
Making use of offcuts to make toy cars and trucks
