Another Melbourne entry
This is another entry I sent to Melbourne. It is about 350mm diameter and took about three weeks to complete after something like four failures. Made from black walnut, silver ash and acacia cedar and finished with spray on lacquer. It took me about six months to develop a technique to get the curved joints right. It won second place, beaten by a platter made from a single bit of wood, made by that weird and wonderful bloke that lives in Melbourne. You know, that fellow that is ok from the neck down.. . He better watch out, I want his crown. .

Hi Jim
Both you and that "from the neck down" bloke (I wonder who started that?) have too much time on your hands and need to get a hobby.
Ever thought about stamp collecting?
Even though I don't care for segmented work, I admire the skill involved in conceiving and making such detailed work.
My attention span is way too short to even think about such stuff.
Cheers

Interesting that many turners in Qld spray their work rather than use an oil or friction finish.
I first noticed this back in the 1980's.
Must be a regional thing, or maybe follow the leader?
Cheers
