Flying saucer

[nine fingers]

This was the piece I entered in the Australian Woodturning Exhibition last week end and very happy with the results. As this was the first time I had entered , I marked it not for sale .
I was offered a figure today that I could not refuse.:D:D:D Its gone.:oo:
cheers John.

TTIT (Vern ) supplied the argyrodendron whick was the darkest timber.
I wanted something dark to set the others off ,Vern suggested this and sent me down enough to do the job.:U

And a big thanks for that Neil as I'm still learning much about timber and was like "Mela-whata" "Argy-bargy" and "deal-or-no-deal"!!?? Common names are the go for a limited bloke like me! :2tsup:

Excellent piece and use of timbers John :U

Cheers,

Nice! :2tsup:

It seems that the forum was well represented at the Show this year. Pity I didn't manage to make it in this time around to see the items in person... :C

John, that was a very well made piece, congratulations on the win.
The offer must have been substantial, to make you part with it. Hope to see more entries from you next year.

John - very nice work for a "novice". :2tsup:

You are streets ahead of me and no doubt a few others. But what about next year? You'll have gone up in class to intermediate, aspiring for Open. And have set the bar fairly high, so novel ideas for 2010 seem mandatory.

Well done and keep us all posted.
