Lovely wood there mate I really regret selling my lathe 10 years ago! At the time the weekend seemed more important :what:

 

couldnt sell mine now!

 

never too late to get back in to it mate...

 

not back into it at all, only been turning 2-3 weeks!

i was referring to sloth but good to hear more people are taking it up, with any luck less beautiful wood will go straight on the fire...

Nope never too late, but time and space aren't on my side at the moment!

Thats the main reason i started recently. If Im gonna cut a tree down/up then I am darn well going to ensure it gets its due respects.

Some nice work and lovely bits of wood there Mr Hamadryad , is the last one Ash burr? Good to see you are spotting the potential in the odd / character bits of wood you come across in this trade , not the sort of stuff you can buy in a shop , keep it up and post your results !! Where in the country are you ?

Some luverly bowls here, really nice. If I was looking at £30-50 including postage for a nice bowl/plate/pen pot what could people offer? Preferably an English wood, certainly something grown in this country, and 'faults'/rot pockets/arb waste etc very much desired.

It would be great if anyone could post pics and prices here, or email to [email protected] if preferred. (If it matters, I'd quite a receipt for it too)

Ps: also a couple of smaller pen pot type things, to sit on a desk, for around the same price for the pair.

Looking forward to the pics

 

To all who replied, many thanks for your time. Everything I was offered was exceptionally good, but in the end one piece caught my eye more than the others. I wonder if I might just keep it when it arrives!

Thanks again, keep up the great work all...
