    Default FREE 2 bits of cypress

    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.

    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
