    Default Photos from this year's Q-Turn

    Just got back from Q-Turn 2017. Great weekend had by all with relatively warmer weather for this time of year. A few photos of the turners, the display table of finished work, including the mystery wood projects (everyone gets a piece of wood and must something from it - winner pocked by votes and wins bragging rights and a bag of lollies )

    Here's what I turned. A large pepper grinder from some very old Red Mallee cast in bright green mica, a small pepper grinder from Ooline cast in swirling "autumn" coloured micas, both using epoxy resin. Finally my entry into the mystery wood comp, 6 mini goblets and a wine karaffe on a small table, all contained in a tube to ensure they are not lost or damaged. Five cent piece for scale

    Kept it mate to make IWCS samples out of . Mind you I did partly make over 20 goblets to get the 6, they are some where in the sawdust

    What was that timber again?

    Thanks Jim. I've found Tipuana tipu comes from South Africa and also known as Rosewood that explains why it turned so well.

    Unfortunately I can't find the miniature work, must have fallen on the floor, so probably now amongst the shavings in the bin or on the ground some where around the shed
