Thread: My Wood Chopper

Less than amonth till the exhibition & I think I'm almost ready just working on another item for the show. Each of our members can purchase a super foot of Mahogany to use. It can be cut, drilled, glued, re-assembled, turned, carved or whatever you like. Only the wood supplied can be used, cannot add any other timber, but can add other materials like stone or resin. I will have my camera and will post pics of some of the entries after the event.

Axe stunning work............I don't think the Fink you'd give it a bad rap either


Chris ty for the PDF any chance of doing the last lot of pics as well.

Last day of exhibition today I would hope to see some forum members at the show.

I've seen a couple of pictures of wooden motor cycles online but none of them come close to what you have done here, your attention to
detail is outstanding and the finish, perfection. Have you had any offers from people wanting to buy it at the show?

WOW I love the grain /pattern in the frount whele .Youre a true craftsman

The exhibition was a great sucess and I didn't get any offers.My missus asked prior to the event if I was to sell how much would it be worth? I told her I would put $16850.00 on it. When she asked why such a strange amount I remindered her that was the price we just forked out for a caravan and if I could get close to that it just made sence. So at the exhibition that was the price but no-one serious about a purchase. I would like to enter the bike in a real motorbike "show and shine" with the hope of securing a trophy or sash to place with my display for future showings. I also had great response from other woodworking groups at the exhibition and will be organising a turning demonstration at their venue and they have requested I bring along the axe to show their members.

No question - No contest for a PRIZE....Hands down!!!!

I think it's worth every cent your asking for it, the time you put in and the quality of your work.
Keep showing it, it's a prize piece for sure.

Just informing of another event where the bike can be seen. I have entered "the axe" in a event on Sunday 25th November 2012, SHANNONS SHOW & SHINE,Forster. This annual event is now hosted by The Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club & will be held ar Stockland Shopping Centre,Forster, on the Mid North Coast of NSW between 9a.m. and 3 p.m. Open to all classes of Classic,Vintage,Veteran & everyday cars plus hotrods & motorbikes. There are plenty of trophies on offer so if it has wheels we want you to show it. If anybody can make the event please come up and say hello with such positive remarks from this forum I would like to meet any of the subscribers.
Cheers
Neil
