Scrap Redwood

[Rcnewcomb]

My neighbor was throwing away redwood 2x4s. I figured I'd see what was hiding inside them.

Here is what was hiding in there

Nice carve Randall. With the high cost of lumber right now, I'm using up a lot of my old scrap material.

That is really really nice, as have been many of the other carves I've seen some of you "Wizards" display. I haven't ventured into this type of carving yet, but I'm getting ready to try. I'd appreciate a few sources where I could purchase from.

For VCarvePro,where only.V3M format is available, and we can sue as many models in that format in a project...vs 1 say .stl or obj. per project as an example...then D&M is the only place;

My personal favorite at the moment to browse is 3DWAVE;

Lots of others though!!

I would say I am surprised but I've seen enough of your posts now Randall to know that for you just about anything is possible.

Thanks for posting, always good to see something like this to help inspire some of us

Never underestimate the value of reclaimed wood. My neighbor tore off his old redwood deck to replace it with plastic. He was going to burn the boards. I couldn't haul them away fast enough. I'm sure a lot of it was old growth from the 70's. You just can't buy wood like that anymore. Fine Woodworking Garden Chair, April 2014. Lots and lots of resawing and bent laminations. Not much to talk about CNC except I did v-carve our name into the front to discourage them from walking away and disappearing some night. There's also a message on the underside for whoever ends up with these after me.

Now THAT is what ADDED VALUE is all about.

Take a $1.00 chunk of firewood and turn it into something valuable.

I know that Rush to Rescue feeling ISvien
Doesn't happen as much nowadays, but I used to snatch firewood about to be burned if
it was Curly,Birdseye,Quilted, and even heaven forbid burl!
Took some sweet talking and sometimes a promise of a finished object, but I usually got it:)
BEAUTIFUL save on the chairs, and Randall's Angel of a flower child !
