    Default From one Territorial to another

    I can see your passion blossoming into a rounding off of your pens, those earth colours are refreshing, also as a professional photographer for two lifetimes our forum is for sharing and your pics acheive that. My pics of pens take only a few minutes but as I said somewhere else today for darker colours over expose one or two stops gives back a whole lot more detail. Reason I mention pic taking is I have a system that works for me, My son in law is going to introduce me to a blog cum server situation that enables more pixels indirectly to be used.
    Rum Pig you should be in an area of fine wood enjoy.

    Regards Peter.

    That's quite a day's work there Rum Pig, looking good

    Some nice timbers and good fit and finish on the pens, you achieved good grain alignment on that BOW as well.

    Well done.

    Just don't spend a whole WEEK in the shed, it could get expensive

    Great looking pens you have there. The BOW is such a treat!

    Can't wait to make some, I have got a few blanks ready in the shed.

    Thanks for sharing.

    The local Grevillea is Pteridifolia
    The company contracted to clear power lines cut it down so when they moved I pinched it from the side of the road 30mins later when I came back past the rest of the limbs were gone
