Pincushion
A mate asked me to make a "little bowl" for his wife to put a pincushion in. He didn't give any details as to what form he wanted the bowl to be, so I looked on google to get an idea of what one might look like. Not much to find there so I used my imagination to turn the one shown in the accompanying photos. The wood was among a pile of off-cuts somebody gave me, knowing I do a bit of turning. It looks similar to a River Oak chisel handle that Pommy Phil gave me. Lovely grain.

Nice piece Manana, with pieces like that you will be getting lots of orders from the ladies sewing circle
Cheers, Ian"The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.. it can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"
