    Tas Blackwood, overall dimensions = 260 x 260 x 50mm, bowl is 230mm dia
    and way to thick in the bottom.

    Button feet are, I think, Tas. Myrtle but may be Meranti. (When using
    offcuts that small they become hard to ID)

    This is harder than i thought - i thought oh yea just vote for mine but the ones that are at Robbos and Tims in Adelaide have overwhelmed me.

    I have 9 entries here that made me do - better than i had ever done before - just to enter but the ones not here are absolutely stunning. - i'm not voting far at least a week now while i think about it, this is going to be tough.

    I checked with and everyone is welcome to post comments here as well.

    BTW i have spoken to Tim from Adelaide and will call in next trip over to pick up all entries left at his place - just PM him for address. I can also do this again before the end of April for late donations

    Those who wish to add detail to their entry email or pm and he MAY be able to add it in.

    Cheers and happy voting. - maybe i can vote 13 times - that would help
    regards

    David
