2044 forum posts 1451 photos 1 articles	hi Bill thank you mate will have to concentrate on my demo piece now get it all sanded and glued up to a point ready to turn at the club. it will grieve me to leave it to the side and not turn it. it is going to be a vase come lidded box. i know i can for see the out come and will show you all when it is finished. i am also getting a oak fruit bowl to turn as well just in case i have more time than i need for doing the box. dennis

2044 forum posts 1451 photos 1 articles	hi Paul and Derek thank you both. Derek i have the good fortune to be able to get the timber from a trade supplier that keeps all the offcuts to the side for sail at a reasonable price. the last time i went i got 56 lengths of 8 ft x2"x 1/2 for £10 all planned and only a few fault. the Flore in that bit is character not a fault . that's what i think any way. dennis

2044 forum posts 1451 photos 1 articles	hi Ian thank you for your comments. the more i am doing the easier they are getting still making silly mistakes though. i have just been thinking i may turn my demo piece just to see if it will work out as i haven't don this shape or style before.i have got all the segments cut and sanded. some of the rings glued up but still got a lot of work to do. dennis
