    Hi Joash,

    Well done and congratulations, a stunning piece of timber and a stunning piece of work to get it into that shape! I can see where 7 hours went, do you have any WIP photos?

    Once again congrats!

    Great work Joash.

    Some time ago you mentioned about putting some work in an exhibition in the USA, how did that go.

    Thanks for the comments:

    I turned this piece, at Wandi Woodturners, and Mr. Ward was there, and he had these small sandpaper pads, he said they were 12K, 20K, 25K, and 36K: They honestly all felt like straight paper, but they managed to put a brilliant shine on the piece.

    As for the last entrants, 2 of my pieces managed to make it into the top 10 in the last competition I entered, there was no First, Second etc:

    Once again, thanks for the comments:

    Well done Joash I think you did especially well to do it in 7 hours, I can take that long just for the sanding
