New Heli and Quad bench Build

[Karubah]

I have been building a new work bench for my heli's and quad to go in the corner of my shed. The timber is River Red Gum and it is a slab that I milled off the Murrimbidgee River 3 years ago. the size of the bench is 3.5m x 1.15m. and is one piece of timber.
.. The pattern you can see in the grain of the timber is called fiddle back.

Looking good there Andy. Just needs a big ass Rc-Help.com inlay and it would be complete

Send one over and I'll bung it in.he he he

No no, you need to cut the inlay out of some dark wood then carve your table so they fit perfectly hehe. Shouldn't take but about 3 months to do all of it!

Too much work to inlay. I might just route it out and use black resin to fill it. I'll have to make up a template first. Great idea Tony. it should look good.

Some fine wood you got there Andy Wait, what?

It is great timber. A slab that size I usually push out the door for around $2500 Aus. The trouble is I have a shed full and it does not move out the door fast enough. Lol

It would if you were closer to me. I would LOVE to have some of that to play around with.

Love the rustic look of knotted lumber like that. Looks great.
