That is great Paul.

I think things like this are needed to be turned as it is what I call light relief from some of the more serious turning.

I love him !

I did a cpl last year but they were no where near like that. The brush is a fabulous touch.

I refuse to show my youngest or I'll get a job to do. :ciggrin:
