    Digger,

    that is a lovely grained piece of Ash and you've achieved a good finish without abrading the grain.

    The first pic could have done with something other than greenery behind it - makes the finial hard to discern I'm afraid.

    Thank you dr4gonfly. I will try and get a better shot tomorrow morning and post it, I agree it does try and hide in the greenery

    You have certainly been making up for the lost time of your long cold winter with bowls, boxes and toys.
    This one is no exception, beautiful workmanship Derek.
    Cheers, crowie

    Not been very lucky selling my turning but suddenly it is flying out the door before I can take it to any shows. I should not really complain but it does not help as I need some for the stall
