Many thanks to Fletty for picking up some Rosewood from Greg Wards the weekend I went into hospital.:2tsup::2tsup:

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 :o is magnificent inside.
Oh one bit of Cedar :roll:

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 :2tsup::2tsup: for a beautiful hunk of Blackwood

Call this incentive for recovery:D:D:;

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.:)
