    Fine lookin' breasts, Gil.

    What was your prescription for drying the wood? Green? Sealing? Timing? etc.

    Thank you all. (I think )
    I am not offended.
    The Wood was green about 5 months ago in log form [1.52m (5ft) long]. I did not seal the log ends, and just cut off two chunks for these hollow forms. I am an impatient person, so these were turned from log-chunk to finished piece in one session. Our Camphor seems to be fairly stable, flexing/warping rather than cracking.

    I like 'em, Gil. No matter what they remind others of.
    Fit and finish.
    Like the idea of using the spigot for the collar...

    An old but still good one: what do the sizes mean?

    A = Almost boobs
    B = Barely there
    C = Can do
    D = Damn good
    E = Enormous
    F = Fake.

    So these must be Ds then!

    (Personally, i agree with the French: what exceeds the size of your hand is wasted anyway...)

    Cheers
    Frank

    Thumbs up

    Gil,
    No doubt about it, this type of hollow vessel you have a good eye for.

    I must get around to having ago at one of these days.


    well done!
