    They are very desirable by the woodturners here in the UK. people that play bowls have now all gone over to composite balls as the LV ones need to be retested if playing in matches or something like that so I have been told

    Yes - you would never see them on a green these days.

    They are museum pieces

    At last finished all of the wood that was outside under a tarp so now all sealed under cover and in stick. Started with 128 pieces cut from the logs then once cut into rounds and hollow form blanks gives me a good amount to turn and that is after I gave 18 pieces away this now gives me a total of 102 bowl blanks and without getting on my knees to count the hollow form blanks a rough guess of 40 to 50. Some I will eventually rough turn to speed up drying. I am expecting some losses but with that amount should still give me a good amount.

    The photo's show my wood pile as of yesterday the space on the shelf in the second photo is now full and the pile hiding under the white sheet has now gone. who said that wood needs to be expensive as a good 80% of this was either very cheap or free wood

    You purposely put the bowls in the second last and last photo for my benefit - didn't you ?

    Glad you have all your timber and lignum vitae sorted

    Look forward to your next master class display
