Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the links and suggestions, really helpful and really appreciated - I’ve struggled with finding a supplier. However that said, as I’m only a couple of months or so into wood turning I’m still practicing on builders waste, found logs etc. Cheap & cheerful but great for practicing and get a bit of confidence with the tools etc. I did buy a reasonably sized mahogany plank but that’s waiting until I’ve got a better idea of what I’m doing and honing those skills.
Oh and the Mrs is being really supportive with words like “that’s lovely” and “that’s really good” when under her breath she’s probably saying “not another mushroom, egg cup, bowl!”
