    Default Quilted Queensland Maple

    A gift from 'Old Croc' in FNQ it was a fine piece with great quilting, took a while to figure out the best shape and not lose too much of the quilting. Finished in gloss WOP and buffed back to lose some of the gloss. 8 x 3.5" or 20cm x 8cm

    Tremendous Neil, really well done.

    After reading the thread title, for the first nano-second of the thumbnail I thought the grooves were the result of the quilting!

    He should have just given you a plain old bit if all you were going to do was put all those spirals in it.

    Good to see you are still alive, have not seen any posts from you or Wheeling for a while. You did it justice Hughie. SHMBO was giving me hand to restack some big timber in one of the containers to make room for new arrivals and we found about 3 Tonnes of the stuff, that I did not remember I had, so when I get back from the US, I will be doing some turning, so some more may be coming your way.
    rgds,
    Crocy.

    The gift from a purveyor of fine timber has been used very well Hughie. Looks excellent. Not to my taste but excellent work all the same.
