ok, now i know nothing about woodturning, ( other than i am in total awe of the stuff that i have seen people create and i would never dream of ever reaching such a standard). Now, that said, i work on new building sites and am always on the lookout for firewood (not much else you can do with site bin stuff - but i have made a couple of nice chess boards and a great red gum cheese board).

i found a couple of pieces of Cypress 150mm x 150 mm (6"x6") which are about 210mm - 240mm long. now, not knowing anything about woodturning as i said i dont know if these are any good to anyone, but i do know they are too good for the Coonara.

if anyone wants them, drop me a line on here or call me 0419 360 958 and they are yours. i am sure they can be made into something real nice.

Very nice gesture :2tsup:
Cypress is nice to turn wish it was in Sydney.

Well done Bob cypress is easy to turn and has lots of features in the grain.

Someone should be real happy, I have far too many blanks other wise I would put my hand up
