Thread: red mallee burl box

hi guys,
,thanks for that photo ,i can understand what you mean now...

tim, you do not have to apologise to me mate,without critisism
and someone else's point of view,we would just carry on making
the some old boring stuff and would not progress ,
i never put photos on the forum ,to have all positive remarks
i appreciate every ones comments good or bad and try to learn
and make my own turnings better [god knows i need all the help i can get]
and it's all free advice from people who know what they are talking
about [one would hope], so thanks, it all makes sense to me now

shedbound,thanks for your comments too..

dragonfly,thanks for disagreeing,your comments are appreciated
but i must come clean at this stage,i did not carve the finial
it is actually made of metal and has a thread cut in the bottom.
i found it in the street,picked it up,and thought i would use that one day
i just cleaned it up and sprayed it black to match the lid.just call me steptoe

cheers smiife
