Christmas present for Politictian.

[tea lady]

Suppository of wisdom. Osage Orange and Solomon's Ebony. Chased threads. Finished with Rustin's danish oil. Appropriate things can be put inside, and hopefully even he won't be able to forget about it.

[tea lady]

Depends where he puts it.:DWell ya know where its supposed to go. :p

[A Duke]

Ya like the guy who went back to the chemist and said " For all the good it did me I might as well have stuck it up my ####."
We better watch it or it will go the same way as your pencil sharpener.

What's the go with making one side smooth?
Also, no idea of dimensions. Hopefully you made it oversize.

[dai sensei]

I really like it, perhaps better with frills for entire length, but just my taste.


..Its about 400 mm diam.

I assumed smaller, 400mm is huge :?

As for which polititian, which has been deleated from the title, is a quote from the man himself, so just google Liberals squirm as Abbott refers to 'the suppository of wisdom' (http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/federal-election-2013/liberals-squirm-as-abbott-refers-to-the-suppository-of-wisdom-20130812-2rryy.html).

Nice piece, osage orange takes a nice thread too doesn't it?

Jim

[tea lady]

Yep. Sure does.

This piece was made for an exhibition that was commenting on politics, the media and censorship. A little bizarre that someone complained about it. Or maybe fitting. Controversy on the WWF. :U

[Mobyturns]

Goodonya TeaLady. Political Art - we need more of it if the wood turning community is going to get noticed by mainstream media. But I guess this will end up in the draw alongside his other gaffes.

[jimbur]

I must say I was surprised when the thread disappeared for a while. It's a lovely piece of work and should be mounted facing the front benches, titled, the truth can hurt.

[A Duke]

May be it wasn't a gaff, being most of them sit on their brains.
:?

[jimbur]

I imagine there are sound physiological reasons why they have to stand before speaking.:D

[tea lady]

Better not cast any more nasturtiums towards the pollies or the thread will get closed.:rolleyes::D

[vtbao]

It's nice, I like it, very meaningful

[wheelinround]

Some nice OT work AM

[Oldgreybeard]

Great work, Tealady. I haven't been able to sit comfortably since i opened this thread!:B
Would have loved to see a WIP on that one:U

[tea lady]

Some nice OT work AMI just turned it with multiple thin disks in the profile and carved them away with the dremel.

[Grommett]

Love your work. Hope the gallery is doing well.
