    For those who aspire to more complex yet simple forms.

    Very tasty.

    Do we have an equiv of DelMano's in Oz?

    ...

    Why do I resist going down the path of turning then sculpting?

    Must be the Zen thing.
    Cheers, Ern

    Thumbs up Grant Vaughan

    Grant Vaughan (from gunnedah NSW) is I think one of Aus's most imaginative and capable woodworkers/sculptors. I first saw his work at the State Library
    "Hands On" exhibition in 1991 and was blown away. Since that time he has got even better at his organic shapes which defy any clue as to how they are made ( to the average woodbutcher like me!! anyhow)
    I'd like to propose Grant as a national treasure.
    Any seconders?
    Would the nearest equivalent to Delmano's be the Bungendore Woodworks?

    Default how?

    well I guess. The round ones are roughed out and gradually brought into shape with time and patience, plus a steady hand and a good eye.
    No doubt he uses all the available tools, arbotechs and the like but the time consuming part is the final shape and finish.
    I watched a scultor do something similar and the finish was hours of careful work down through grades of paper to around 2000+. Before any polishing took place. In japan some of them go to 4000 and then use charcoal powder for a finish you would not believe.

    Hughie, dynamite posting of that "nihon-kogeikai" Website!
    When I read it I get the urge to try some of that sort of thing myself... Not!
    It's interesting, though. I always wondered how they get some of those shiny, deep, finishes. Wish I had one of those trees
    This guy comes the closest to Japanese finishes than anyone I know. I met him at the Georgia Gathering of Wood Central folks, back in April.
