    Default little camphour bowl

    Hi guys,
    I made this small camphour bowl today
    finished with eee and glow,
    a neigbours parents are over from china
    and he has taken a bit of interest in wood
    and woodturning in general, so i gave him
    the bowl to take home with him....
    Which got me thinking is there any customs
    or quarantine rules about taking timber items
    out of australia and in to china???
    Any comments and advice welcome

    Nice work smiife! Does the inside shape follow the outside shape? Customs were good to me comming back from Norfolk island! I did declare everything though!

    Hi chuckie,
    Yeah, I think if you are up front with officals in the
    airport all should be ok.
    The bowl Is just rounded inside
    Thanks for comments
    Cheers smiife

    smife,

    that is one very nice bowl. If I can make something half as good from the camphor I got from you I will be a very happy chappy. BTW - I just got my dust extractor connected over the weekend so am ready to turn!!!

    cheers

    Mick

    Nice looking shape .
    I have sold several pieces which have gone to China and I can't imagine there would be any problem getting it in .But have been rapped on the nuckles when we forgot to declare a bit of wood holding a wallhanging from China when we were bringing it in.
