Willey has been a busy boy :D
#3 has my vote for the favorite...would have been #2 'cept for the straight edge on the RH side.

Hey Willy,
That York Gum looks really Speccy, You don't get many off cuts do you :D, I'm not far away and would be more than willing to help clean up, if you need a hand.

Hello All
Thanks for the comments. I too prefer number 3, although the rootburl is quite different, and hard on a chainsaw blade.
Hazza B, Sorry mate, all offcuts go the the firewood bin to keep the little Nelson children warm of a night time, you know how cold it is at the moment in WA :wink:
Sincerely
Willy

Hello Willy,
As one wood turner once told me what his opinion was about turned objects, "if the object holds water it is a bowl if it does not it is a piece of art". Very nice work indeed and no 2 and 3 get my vote.
