Landscape grade Totara. In the 60s they clear-felled huge Totara forests and planted pine, left the Totara laying there. Now that the pine is maturing they're getting the logs out. What looks like worm holes is actually a disease that only affects the tree when it is alive. Heart Totara is naturally durable, rated at 50 years in contact with the ground.

I’ve made it airtight, to keep low volume stuff contained, if it’s loud it’ll get out but that’s ok. With the blinds down it should be reasonably bounce free. It’s lined with rough-sawn timber, (boxing actually) with a reasonable gap, then 13mm gib behind.

I was told to avoid a square shape and to pitch the ceiling

More progress. The 12'' CVs sound better than the 15s in here. I'll relegate the 15s to outdoor duty, as required.

It's the united nations of wood here: Totara, Kauri, Macrocarpa, Radiata, Cedar, and Oregon. I've got some Rimu and Oak in line to find a new home too.

It's a rescue Mac, a hand-me-down, and I've never used one before. I wasn't particularly impressed. Until...

I plugged the QU16 in, waited for the driver search and the subsequent 3 hour wrestling match to get the 16, Reaper, and Windows to play well together, but no, nothing. Nada. Instead it's all working perfectly, just like that, plug and play.

Nice little rustic spot!
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Added drawers. I’ve been waiting til it’s tidy to take a pic but that doesn’t seem to be happening so here it is, pretty much done.

Loving it. So worthwhile.
