Don't ya know ya timbers:eek: .

The whitish one is London Plane.
And the yellow/goldish one is Mulberry, which will come up a really gold color and then eventually turn a mellow brownish color. Have attach a picture of a Mulberry bud vase I turned about 5 yrs ago, but I took this photo a couple of weeks ago.

Only timbers I get to see around here is Bunnings pine

Is it October yet?

I'm hoping it hurries up as well - I have about 30MB left of my 10GB limit :eek: At least from next month it becomes 20GB

Still 26 and 1/2 hrs to go

Got a good feeling about this one...

my Uncle's farm near Benalla

I was born in Benalla!!!

I must confess to having said at least once or twice lately ... I'm so over cutting and sticking little pieces of wood ..... but not I'm thinking a plain pen, using just one wood, not cuts, no glues will be .... plain:eek: :eek: :eek:

So, thinking creatively ...:confused: :confused: what will I do? Finally got to holidays and now have shed time

You're not the only one, Jude. I've been sitting and thinking but all my better ideas seem to involve the bandsaw.

Another 151 minutes... but tomorrow's the SE Melb get-together, so not much shed time there. [sigh]

Just the same... Roll on October!

No... the forum BBQ got in the way yesterday [hic] and this morning Froggie's kits turned up on my doorstep. I've been too busy hugging & squeezing and calling things George to actually turn on the lathe.

New? Not really.

The full set of Filigrees, some Deco Slimlines (I'm out of everything and thought I'd stock up on the basics at the same time) and the 18k Swiss Rose Gold.

Love that last one... I've been out in the shed for the last hour or so, just polishing the sides of blanks and comparing them to the kit, trying to pick the blank that's destined to (hopefully) become the pride of my fleet.


PS: A quick note to whoever bought the last of Froggies' Titanium Black Sierras: GRRRRR! :mad: (I wanted a few of them, too, but missed out. [sigh])
