    Default decided to get a little ambitious

    Open spirals in Camphor Laurel, very darn fragile so it took awhile to get this one finished. 10" or 25cm x 4" or 10cm
    local dimension 250mm x 100mm the usual WOP finish, satin in this case.

    There is nothing like pushing yourself especially if this is the end result. Great piece.

    I will not say that I want to try this as I am half way through a pair of candlesticks with opposing spirals in them will get them finished after christmas if they turn out half as good I will be pleased

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    If that doesn't take a Blue ribbon in a contest somewhere, nothing will!

    Better find yourself a competition somewhere and enter it
