    Default Long Service Leave results

    Good Evening All
    Took some long service leave whilst the kids were on school holidays. Got a solid 2 1/2 days turning completed. Got a heap of stuff done, here are some samples (in order of appearance):

    Red Morrel Burl, carved
    York Gum Burl turned
    Massive York Gum Burl, carved
    Wandoo Burl, carved
    Jarrah Burl, turned, embellished and embonised
    Jarrah burl, turned with a bead
    Jarrah fruit bowl

    All are finished with approximately 10 coats of Danish oil

    Comments welcome
    Sincerely
    Willy

    Nice work Willy, I've been on leave for a bit over two weeks now and you have been more productive on the turning front than I have

    How did you do the ebonising?
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Imagine how much you could have got done if you had taken it when the kids were not on school holidays

    Seriously - good result

    Some beautiful bits of wood presented very nicely indeed Wish I had been as productive on the 2 weeks I just had off - whole lot went to house maintenance

    Default Bowls

    Hi Willy
    I really like the work you have done. I,m retired and still can't get to my burls. I particularly like the turned, decorated and ebonised bowl, along with the beaded one. If only Jarrah was so plentiful on the east coast.
    Cheers,
    Paul

    Beautiful burls

    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.
