    Default Top Turning Bench1holio

    Our own Ben Ist Prise (hundreds of Dollars worth) in faceplate turning of this Hollowform at the ACT Woodcraft Guild Exhibition at the Working With Wood Show last weekend. Pic as it sat in the display. Timber Black Box Burl.

    Fantastic he beat two entries by Richard Raffan not an everyday happening.

    Congratulations Ben.

    Good one Ben...

    Don't let RR know about your Thompson gouges, otherwise he will be on to them and back winning again next year...
    Stay sharp and stay safe!
