Did a demo this week for a local aged care centre. Normally we do a demo inside to 10-12 people interested in woodworking, but this was an outside event with numerous other people (spinners & weavers, beading etc etc) on the centre's Robin Hood Day with many all dressed up. Various knights, brothers, queens, kings etc etc even a few female nurses as wenches :2tsup:. Unlike other demos we have done for aged care centres, those from this centre that attended were incapacitated in wheel chairs or with failing eyesight in walking frames :-. But the nurses, management and careers did enjoy the effort we went to.

Anyway, here are a few shots of the potpourri bowl I did out of Budgeroo, the bark inclusion stabilised with CA as usual :U. Simple EEE/Shellawax finish, filled with dried rose petals and some essential oil, then donated to the centre.

Cheers

Nice job Neil.
You seem to be getting prettier with age. It's amazing what a shave can do for your appearance:D
