Fire wood

[simomatra]

This is a pen made from a log of fire wood meant for the wood fired oven, The pen will go to the property owner who donated the timber. I think the timber is blackbutt.

The kit is a copper a Sierra from Beartoothwoods the finish is 20 coats of WOP and PlastX polish

Timber came from Martins Creek NSW

Thank you all for the nice comments, the owner of the property was really pleased, made his day.

WOP is wipe on poly from Minwax, my choice of finishes.

Chuck, it was fairly random selection and included a small crotch.

We have the same polished timber in our living areas and some of it I have looked at lovingly as it is full of fiddleback.

It is amazing what come out of a firewood pile.

The property owner has a stand of yellow box and has also offered me the trimmings when he does any pruning.

I check every piece I put in the wood pizza oven before I burn it know.
