Thought it was about time to try a bit of plastic.

Having never turned Acrylic before I though I best give it a try and see what all the fuss is about.
I like the results but must say I still like wood better, although I think that acrylic is easier to work, well this one anyway.

Really great job of that David...

Fit and finish is spot on..great pics as well.:thumbs:

But I agree that wood is much better, in feel as well as working with it.

Plastics seems a big fashion at the moment, but sure wood will have its comeback..:winking:

The thing is! Will you stick to them or go back to wood.?:thinks:
