Title: wood
Post by: jimbo on July 05, 2010, 03:29:29 am

I bought 2 pieces of this laminated wood a couple of years ago [cheap] what would you do with it?
The person I got it off used to make rulers and pencil boxs from it

Don't Jimbo but I got a box with the lid in the same timber.
Made in Wanganui ? (no H) Sovereign is the name of the firm.

Hi guys thanks for the ideas, the wood is 210ml x 210ml diam x 40ml thick,
I would be interested in the vase idea thanks Rog would there be any available patterns around?

Yes there are patterns and a tute around.
Steve Good has a good starter pattern and vidio on it. That is what got me started cutting them. (Of course, I got totaly carried away with the whole idea and cut the "Plywood vase"!  ;D)
Also Steve recomended (and I bought) a book by Carole Rothman called "Wooden Bowls From the Scroll Saw". Published by Fox Chapel. It was $20.00 US and worth every penny. You may however, find it in a library near you. I also think she has some vidios avaliable on line.
Hope that helps. They arent very hard to cut but getting some interesting wood glued up and all the sanding afterword is time consuming. You already have a headstart on the glue-up part!!  ;D

Diana Thompson will be coming out with a book, soon, on 'dishes'.  I've seen one she has cut and it is beautiful.  That wood would be beautiful as one of her scrolled dishes.
