Hey everyone I'm from Sydney Australia.
Just getting back into woodworking after being out of school for a long time.
I am going to make things out of wood for my other passion which is drumming.
My Current Project involves making a storage rack for snare drums.
I got lucky at bunnings and took home some kind of curly/tiger flame hardwood at 100 x 19mm costing $2.39 a meter....seems like they don't sort out their planks.....they just shove them in a pile for sale. Let me tell you I am all too happy to go through dozens of planks to find figured grain, especially at silly prices like that !
I will post this evening of my work in progress. The planks came out really nice with a coat of danish oil, and they await a second coat for when I get home.
