Gil,

It talks to you whilst you are making it dizzy spinning on a lathe, for me it talks whilst I am shaving it with planes and chisels.

Wonderful shirt and yes the timber does talk to me. Sometimes I can't understand what it says though.

Last weekend I was sawing up a small split log with the intention of making some carved knife handles. Once I had the 20 mm slabs in front of me the wood said, "You are not turning me into handles I want to be some book ends"! , so I had to go find another log.

Hey!! that sounds like the wood thats been talkin to me for so long!! Every friggin peice!! I pick it up or cut it or buy it whatever but as soon as I start to look at it... it speaks "YOU will NOT use me in a boat!" and so I have to stack it back again and find cut buy another peice... and the same friggin thing happens!! :mad:

Nice Gil!!! Very Nice Work!! I'd have to say my favourites are the pear bowls/vases with the natural timber edge. For some reason, I've been really taken with bowls like this lately.

Thanks for the link.

Cheers
