That ash looks fantastic. I collected a load coloured like that for firewood but the colour faded to normal ash grey. I cut a few bowl blanks from it but most of it still ended up as logs

Opportunity to due lots of turning again due to this lockdown. Experimenting with painting some.

Love the blue and green, not the red so much.  That is the kind of item to grace Giles and Henrietta's Chelsea apartment, bought at very profitable (for you) price.

You have done very well for them not to split turning from green in this dry time of the year , especially Oak and Cherry , well done !!

Turned from some skanky apple logs that would usually be a big nono for turning on a foot powered lathe. With the timber being infested with knots and rotten in the centre, runs a high risk of breaking on the lathe. Many did, these ones survived.

Also managed to turn my first couple of nests of apple, turned from the same piece of timber. The little bowl sat in the centre of the large one. Bit of a ball ache to do.
