love it - did you scrwe it to the plate to hollow it out?

lovely bit of wood and well turned.

your a brave man with those corners fling around as you turned it.

i have a load of laburnum i have been storing for years - i must start using it.

a nice bit of turning and well photographed, thanks for showing us,

very nice use of wood - cani ask what site the comp was on?

very nice

i have thought about getting a pen kit i like the idea of collecting knarled bits of wood to make my own blanks,

nice to see you Posting and getting back into it, i pop on here from time to time but work this yr has taken over so the lathe is gathering dust, also i have been on the look out for someone local that gives tuition for later in the year when i might get a bit more time. steve

sounds like an interesting project - please post some pictures,

i have some laburnum but have been saving it for when i can turn better and have a bit more time. lovely form you have created, did you use the bace with an internal chuck as it looks very shallow for gripping?

wow the yew is so much better - you sure do find some nice wood and get the best out of it when turned.

Hi Carl - Thanks for the reply - i am in the midlands but travel all over with my work so if you do manage to get a lump i could at some point pick it up? steve

another nice bit of turning with a great finish.

lovely finish

now i like the idea of that - wow 6000 yr old - if ever you have a spare lump i would love to try it.

did you collect the timber yourself?

lovely turning and worth the pain (@;

sounds like you have been in some pain, glad its all ok now - there is some great work on here and it inspires me - my only problem is finding time - with the kids and my business there is always somthing else to do, and i have still not found anyone local who could spare a few hours to show me a few tips.

smart - makes me want to blow the dust off my lathe. steve
