Hello everybody!!!

This is my first message in this precious forum. My name is Onur. My favorite wood is walnut wood and enjoy to work with this special wood for years. I prepare pen blanks, knife blocks, turning squares and many other Turkish walnut woods for turning.

Sincerely
Onur

Welcome Onur I have never seen a collection like yours but I have seen you on the IAP our third daughter is married to Onder Kircalli from Istanbul and although they also live in the USA they maintain their apartment on the Asia side of Istanbul his parents live directly across the Bosphorous from the Blue Mosque. I look forward to seeing your timber again and trust you enjoy this forum.

Kind regards Peter.

Welcome Onur.
I have some lovely Turkish Walnut just waiting for a moment to arrive, you may have given me the opportunity to show some of it.
Fortunate for us that I didn't take it to TR day at Lord Woody's as it is still complete in my humble abode.
