Called murphy! hopefully he will be coming out with me when i get a few things sorted!! thought id share him all with you! Ben

thats certainly true, most of the stuff we have at the minute is to dry to be of any use, most of the stuff ive got left is well split or foamy-rotton-sort-of-ness I do have some willow, plum, pear, and apple that im working up to doing somthing with. its all just a bit small to be of major use... oh yeah just added you on facegeek aswell! Ben

cheers guys that looks really good hplp. im just finding it hard to find any blanks round where i am, postage doubles the cost on ebay, im making do with fire wood at the moment and its not that great to be honest! Ben

My latest creation, just to see if i could! Ive just bought a set of tools off of the bay of e. Ill Have to see how much of a difference the right tools make! think its chestnut, straight off the woodpile! Ben
-
haha fair play Ian. It was good to watch some one on the lathe, i can watch how things are done then! Indeed, the difference that gouge makes is awesome, far better than anything ive used before... Im pricing up the sovereign system at the moment, and a scroll chuck, just depends what i can get for my birthday on thursday, and how much i work! Im thinking a proper tool set would be more benefical than a chuck.... Ben
-

-
It will be my pleasure sir! ill let you know when ive got the kit and a suitable lump of wood! Ben

to be honest Sam ive no idea if leylandii is poisenous or not, (and it dont hold a pint!) I can finish them in danish oil (which i know is safe for food things) im just not sure on the actuall wood... ill have a dig about, unless some one here knows! Ben
-
it certainly could be, ill make another one if you want it, or just interested either way ill be making another! the inside of that one is a bit rough to be honest, but yeah man, feel free to make an offer on anything i make! nothing is up to Ian Leaches standard yet, but i should be getting some bits for my birthday next friday
-
and i made me a pot/cup sorta thing from leylandii, Ben
-
After getting a new gouge from Ian at Jonsies show (after sobering up) i had a go at a bowl when i got in! looks alright if i do say so myself, its full of pot pourri as the bottom isnt that good, the wood was a bit rotten and spongey in places, but yeah s'ok for a first attempt! made of silver birch Ben
-
