    Nice work Bruce! Your output puts us all to shame. Oh to have a business that not only allows the time to produce but also offers an outlet for sales.
    Lucky Bugger!!

    Are you open at all over Easter, I will be up in the area?
    regards
    Billy

    Thanks for your kind words guy's .
    Artme - the Red Bean grows up the eastern seaboard from NSW to QLD ,great to work with and finishes to a deep red / brown colour. It's in the same genus as Scentless Rosewood and Rose Mahogany , Drysoxylon from memory. I've made a few hall tables with it as well that turned up beautiful.
    JackD - making anything for the hell of it is a joy , making anything for a livelihood is a pain ,time constraints , compromises , waiting to be payed and the like. The boxes I've posted thus far were an excercise to try out a few designs and techniques to then make some more in a limited run for some galleries. Your welcome to come up anytime , just not at easter .

    All the best Bruce, thanks for the invite and anytime I'm up your way I'll let you know and drop in for a gander and a chat. Your boxes are exquisite and reflect your passion and experience.
    Can't wait till next week's boxes.
    All the best and thanks

    Bruce, your small joinery is superb, and your combinations of timber are gorgeous. Do you run workshops that help lesser mortals achieve such results?

    Hi guy's,
    I have run a few classes but being mostly a 1 man band I don't have much time to commit to it , hopefully in the future I'll be able to do something.
