The Woodshop Shed

Another wood strip project run, hopefully my last!

Like the title says another wood strip project run. I'm pretty burned out with wood strip projects. This is the latest I've come up with to use up leftovers. I've got enough for 7 more clip boards. Hopefully, this will be the end of wood strips.
I made different sizes for various different size notepads. Nothing to complicated here. I've made at least a dozen of these. They seem to go over well as gifts.

Platter From Rough and Used Offcuts

Good Morning..When looking at the Beautiful Projects on L J s , I noticed some striped Bowls and Platters and this idea appealed to me. There was an abundant supply of off cuts some of it going back to my Grandfathers Farm some 75 years ago. Here was my chance…...So I cut strips of wood from whatever I could find and trying to achieve some kind of colour coordination.It was intended to be a Bowl but the sizes of the strips I cut determined it to be a Platter. It is 10 inches in Diameter and 1 1/4 inch deep. It is finished with three coats of CABOT'S Bench Top Food Safe Varnish which is Water Based.
There are many old nail holes and Gouges in the Old Wood but I thought next time I may be able to make a filler with saw dust and glue…Do you think that would work???Kind regards,Cliff.

Decline of Money Control.

Boys and Girls,It's house-keeping in the LBD household, however, I will keep this short, if not necessarily sweet.I made this money clip a few years ago from a Craft Supplies kit.It comprises of a jarrah disc and two letters laser cut/inlaid in the disc. The letter K is out of merbau and the A is out of pine… only cause I couldn't spell LBD.With the onset of C19, we are quickly turning into a cashless society and I am just wondering if anyone out there hasn't realised this swing and brags the initials of AK... There might be a money clip up for grabs.Other than the gallery photos, I'm not going into any more detail as I don't believe it's shelf life is beyond a collector's item classification.PS. Before being accused of being a RF (rich bugger)... pictures #1 and #2 are a before and after depiction of my unplanned retirement. Picture #2 is a print on the back of a punched card (some people may remember them and for those that can't, some museums may still carry them).
