    Default Christmas presents

    SWMBO let me go and play in the shed on Saturday
    So I thought Christmas is closing in best make a start on some presents
    I was able to make a
    small Gmelina bowl, cheese slice thing Mulga,
    2 hole cheese knife Gmelina & Black Wattle,
    1 small cheese knife Salmon Gum,
    2 bottle stoppers Black Wattle & Gmelina
    and 8 letter openers Albizza
    Should be a good start.
    Cheers Rum Pig

    Awesome presents!! I don't know the wood, but it looks purty.
    Where do you get the cheese cutters like the one in the upper left, and the cheese knives?
    You're gettin' a head start, that 's for sure.

    I bought all the hard wear from Ian Macraild in Darwin. He runs a woodturning club/shop and sell woodturnig bits and piece and unlike most Darwin shops he is competitive to southern stores and a top bloke to boot.

    Rum Pig, it's clear to me that you had a nice day, very nice thinwalled bowl,which is good looking. I like the cheese instruments of torture .
    And that all in one day

    All in one day? Whoa! Well done, mate.

    Your thin-walled bowl technique could be extended to lampshades, I reckon.
