Dan,
If your reference was as a result of the comment from me about contacting tony, I was referring to tony isles, son of Ashley who runs Ashley isles edge tools with his brother. Tony Wilson, a man who every turner should take the opportunity to travel to see and hear, as you may know is not only a wheelchair bound turner but a tree surgeon, the source of his blanks. He is uses a wheelchair as his legs cannot support his weight due to breaking his back when he fell out of a tree. However not to be one to be constrained by a disability it was to his surgeons disgust that he had to operate on Tony as he had again ventured up a tree, from the confines of a wheelchair, to fell it. Sadly history repeated itself and he fell out of that one to and has decided to give up climbing trees but still does fell trees after a test to ensure that he could get out of the way in a wheelchair, if necessary.
I offer this piece of advice, if anyone sees tony Wilson and smells petrol, run a mile.
Dan, tony wet turns all his bowl blanks and stores them for months, over to you if there is mileage in selling wet blanks?
