    Talking Great Mates

    Many thanks to Fletty for picking up some Rosewood from Greg Wards the weekend I went into hospital.

    He not only stored it but when I came home called in with it and got me to mark out so he could cut it up for me (see photos). Including the crappiest piece I think he and Greg could find.........which as you can see when cut is magnificent inside.
    Oh one bit of Cedar

    It has been cut into 80x80x750 6 off 2 edge bits
    50x50x900 4off 2 edge bits
    stump x2 halves
    1 off 130x80 round
    4 off 250x80 round
    1 of 150x 80 round
    Blackwood 1 off 180 dia

    Thanks also to Pat for a beautiful hunk of Blackwood

    Call this incentive for recovery

    Me tooo!

    I don't think we should get him into woodturning - he is doing too good a job cutting the wood!

    Yeah, every man to his job Ray. Let him keep cutting and leave the turning to us.
