Drift Wood for Essential Oils
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This was a request from DIL from when I was in Sydney, she wanted a stand to display her Bottles of Essential Oils.I had a piece of drift wood that just happened to pass by so I used that.Construction Processs:First up I needed to obtain a flat datum to work with so I made a jig to hold the piece so I could feed it into my thicknesser.I removed the bulk of the high spots in the material with my Arbortech Turbo Planner then fed it into the thicknesser.Once that was complete I drilled suitable sized holes with a forstner bits, totaling about 15 or so of each size.The next step was then out with the wire brush and remove all the aged surface. Upon cleaning it all up it was simply finished off with a coat of sanding sealer.Took me a couple of hours from start to finish.The tools used:- Arbortech Turbo Planer Guinevere sanding system Thicknesser Drill Press and two forstner bits Water based Sanding Sealer.What sort of timber is it?...well I have no idea actually, but it looks OK.
