probably should be held back until our Spring - but whatever - it is called Spring Bud.
Again, Australian Red Cedar.

Lovely piece Tony. This is the true art sculpted freeflowing style that I appreciate from your work.

Very, very nice, how many hours did you put into this one, especially sanding the finish

Jeez Tony, you're really pushing the boundaries now mate.
IMHO that's one of the nicest you've done.

Tony,
That was my favourite:2tsup:, unfortunately it only came in third in the Decorative Wood section, behind a magnificent harp guitar and an intarsia sea eagle.
Maybe next year a seperate box section.

Bloody beautiful, Tony, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Do you have any tips on finishing the inside of the narrow cuts? I have trouble with these particularly where they narrow to bugger all. Any special tools that help?
Kind regards,
Barrie

Time spent fine sanding the exterior = 35%
Time spent fine sanding the interior = 65%
The special device used to fine sand the interior is an Australian invention
sanding paper attached to a metal ruler (I prefer Velcros backed paper, but you can either use pre-glued paper, or attach the paper by using double sided tape.)
Good Health

Electric knife works as well.

Thanks Tony, I think I spend more time proportionally on the inside stuff! Just part of the game I suppose, no real short cuts to a fine finish.
The electric knife sounds like it is worth a try ptc, I think there is an old one around somewhere, I'll give it a go. Many thanks for your tip.
Kind regards,
Barrie
