    Default Forget Me Not

    Hi

    A recently completed commission work, the request was for a work incorporating the small flower known as "Forget Me Not".

    Australian Red Cedar with a hidden compartment.

    That is one fine piece of art. It is not only practical, but beautiful.

    I admire your talents and your hard work to create such a work of beauty.

    Great job.

    But will make what I am looking at better.

    Ironically this may be my last post for some months as we are hoping to sell and build a new home whilst living in rented accommodation, if luck is on our side yes I will have workshop space, but? and hopefully internet connection will also be available?

    Thank you for your kind words.

    We are planning to build at Bundanoon, Southern Highlands of NSW. Unfortunately we've got to sell to be able to build!

    Lovely box, I do like to see some carving on bandsawn boxes. There used to be a fella (could still be there) at the North Pine Markets in Brisbane doing carved bandsawn boxes. Very nice.

    Good luck with your move and building, are you owner building or getting it built?

    You will have to register at your local library and log on there, or get pre paid dial up at your rental address.

    Nice one, Tony. What was the client's use for it?
    Good luck with the move to the southern highlands - it's a beautiful area and you'll be surrounded by other creative people.

    Thank you Alex, Wendy, Donna, mongrell and Fencepost2 for your kind words and best wishes.

    We've just returned from one of many consultations with our builder, !!!!! the amount of government regulations to be complied with

    This bit should be completely ignored, although I know that despite this warning, you will read it through to the very end.
