I like the crouch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, not for what you are thinking. As I turn other stuff as well, I can see a nice interesting bowl or two in that crouch or even a nice goblet or two.

Bowls is what I have seen but the beech which is from same tree is the most beautiful I have seen so there is a lot of hope for these bits

 

[bellringer]

Well had this lot derived today the main 10 feet pallet on the bottom is for storing the broads on and the rest are for cutting for separating the boards

 

[Penpal]

Have fun Alex by now the ends should all have been coated and the timber stored off the ground. Looking forward to some interesting stuff from all of that raw material.

Kind regards Peter.
