Thread: Ian007's Bowl Auction

Steve you beat me to it.:eek:

I have asked the Axe Weilding Homicidal Maniac () who asked the Grand Poo Bar (Neil) who has made a decree that it is Ok that I have an Auction for the fundraiser on the forum.

Baz has very kindley donated this amazing White Box Burl Bowl (say that 6 time fast after a few drinks) that he turned for the fundraiser. Thanks Baz (Round of applause please).

This White Box Burl Bowl is 400X65mm.
I asked Studley to do the photos in his studio because of the pro lights ect and they look good dont they.

The Auction is for this Bowl.
The winning Bidder will also have to pay postage. (as normal)
All Bids to be in red like this "I bid $50.00" if you could please
and yes that is the starting Bid
this should make it a bit easier to see where we are at.
Please try not to highjack this thread, yes I know its wishful thinking.
And yes we can all see who the winning bidder is.

The winner will be the highest bidder at 9pm Friday the 28th April SA time

And remember that all proceed from this auction will go to the Modbury Special School for the purchase of gym eqipment for these disabled kids

so with that done here are the pics

Cheers Ian

You are asking for a good slapping Dusty. I'd give you a reddie but I don't think I'll bother.

To Buy that piece of timber just dry and ready to turn could be $100. Put in several hours turning and finishing to get the cost of item. Then multiply that by 3 to come up with a retail price. I reckon in Adelaide if you could get something like that it would be up to $500. Sell it in Sydney and you would find it on the North Shore for $1200 or more depending on the outlet.

You don't just blow in and say things like DREAMING before anyone knows you. Especially not to someone who is very well known and liked and who is just trying to raise some money for his kids school.
