I associate Newmarket with horses then horses for courses indeed Neil a busy morning. Production turning especially involving so many of the same kit are they biro or fountain pen kits?
Your choice of timbers in this display variety some deep and meaningful when you display them do you separate them? Certainly viewing them from here there are bursts of colour and grain quite exciting really. The two Yew pens look as if they came from the same tree and the third like a paler pine such a variety in the one species. Kingwood is a regal timber difficult to capture in a pic, Tulipwood reminded me of a mate who bought two huge logs had them milled from two thousand miles away thirty odd years ago after visiting the mill had the timber cut into floor boards, kiln dried and laid them on the floor of his house extension when we worked for CSIRO Forestry Dept for less total cost including rail freight here to Canberra than our common Radiata Pine cost. A one off special between mates. The floor is magnificent it was grown in rain forest conditions. A beautiful colourful timber showpiece of his home.
The fourth pen in Laburnum looks end grainish, very different to the end grain in pen no 11 both striking.
Pride of Pens there mate the Yew 3rd from the end pen number 9 leaps out a classic advertisement for following the startling grain
how to impress me well I am deeply impressed by them all and I could not sleep started viewing 2.30 am this morning Wednesday extremely happy I did thanks mate for showing a beaut boost for my day. I have been troubled deeply by a DVT in my right leg and an adjacent cyst that burst with the good news the DVT has gone and the pain easing. Like the Indian saying if you walk a mile in another mans shoes you learn a lot if your not happy your a mile away wearing the shoes in this case cheers mate you made my day.
Kind regards Peter.
