That's just 'orrible Brad, wasted your time on that one. :winking::whistling:

Makes me wonder if I should waste a kit on the bit Neil gave me :devil:

Seriously though it's a gorgeous blank and nice bit of turning, once you've assembled it that is. :ciggrin:

That Sycamore sings mate credit Neil for the wood and you for the turning, I noticed the gap but knew instinctively it would press dead true because it was so parallel, must be something in the water in the UK today here with such wonderful work displayed backed up by your special pen Brad.

What a waste of time that wood is, I think you should parcel it up and send it over to me right away. Just to save yourself some more embarrassment. :rolling: I will take it for you..:thumbs:


You have done a superb job of that one Brad..:thumbs: suppose the wood ain't that bad..

Shame I haven't pressed it enough, will sort that tomorrow.

I think Peter needs to read it without woodies goggles on.:funny:

That will look very nice once you've assembled it Brad:whistling:

Batch cutting of blanks is scheduled for Thursday morning. Then need to sort into lots, take pics, and put them up for sale in the evening, if all goes to plan.:tongue:
