Same here Sean.
David, I'm roughing out your pedestal piece.
There are deep checks and at this stage I'm aiming for 140mm in diameter. It has to be somewhat off-axis to avoid the worst of the bow and the checks. Just a heads-up in case another blank is needed. I'll keep you posted.
added: btw, I had sealed the ends, as with the slab. Still a bit green maybe.Cheers, Ern

Goodo.
Ski trip was fantastic thanks. Five days of sunshine out of seven, perfect spring snow on the backcountry slopes, and a friendly group.
I'm now an honorary Alpine Rover Scout ;-}Cheers, Ern

... after another hour over the Stubby, I have my doubts about this piece David.
There's a deep worm hole at one end (good ole Wattle ... (boom tish ...)), and on my el cheapo moisture meter it comes up at 22% which doesn't augur well.Cheers, Ern

Goodo David.
If chain sawn, see if you can cut a flat face parallel to the grain, then we can knock the corners off on the bandsaw.
Well, Jess has her dibs on a bit of the Tiger Myrtle of 's, so maybe we can have another goblet turning tutorial. Skew?
Think we'll do another raffle, proceeds to the Red Cross ...
We have some good burls brought by David last time that'll go into the pool, plus a small and a large Vicmarc faceplate ring (fit 90/100 chucks). Other donations welcome.Cheers, Ern

any of that wood i left last time can be cut up into sizes for pens or goblets or whatever you think if you think they would raise donations for the charity.regards

Best of luck with that Irish sod.
If you can make it, have the other piece of TM as a demonstrator's fee ;-}Cheers, Ern

On reflection, let's scrap the raffle and just do a 'buy, sell, swap' with a voluntary donation of a share of the proceeds to charity.
A raffle means you might end up with Vicmarc faceplate rings when you only use faceplates or glue blocks.
So I suggest you bring along stuff to sell labelled with your name and the price, and you choose what you toss into the Red Cross tin.
Sound OK?Cheers, Ern
