and clearly the shoulder is getting better
Good Afternoon LAdies and Gentlemen
Well, I have sufferered the pangs of withdrawal from wood turning long enough after a shoulder re-construction. last week, got right back into it on the big lathe, enough of pens I say.
I completed a Salmon Gum Burl 'pot' like shape approximately 220 x 140mm.
I have also completed a very large Jarrah Burl platter approximately 420mm
Lastly, a nice smaller platter of 290mm with a textured and ebonised rim. I like doing this. To me, it draws the eye into the fantastic swirl of Jarrah burl and the black contrasts nicely with the colour of the burl. A very hard burl this one
Sincerely
Willy

Some real nice pieces there and good to hear/see you are back in action Willy.
BTW I started milling again today. Just small stuff not worth posting about, Olive, Sheoak and a piece of not too badly cracked Wattle!

Responses, hopefully in order and thanks for the comments
The rim is flat
Wandi is a good area to stay in, is it Rod Cocks? The 17th, I shall be there, I hope

Willy, I was one of the civvy electrical instructors at 259, and you gave me a few small pieces of tree branch that you said were tulip wood. I came across a couple of them in my wood shed the other day, and wondered just how small the world is, and if there is only one Willy Nelson in the woodturning world. Seems like there is! Maybe in a year or two my wife and I will be in WA, so you may get an Eastern visitor or not. In August we fly to Germany and on to Norway to join the Norwegian Woodturning Cruise, then another 4 weeks around Scandinavia. Gonna be great!!! Doug.

Well Hello Doug
I do remember. I loved my time at Nirimba, both as a muppet and an instructor. The tulip tree I cut I stll have a couple of pieces left, it has travelled from Sydney, to Melb, to Perth, to Syd, and finally Perth. I am more into Jarrah now
Wow, I have read articles about the wood turning cruise, look forward to reading yours. I just did a cruise to NZ with the family, but didn't even see a lathe the whole time.
Make sure you give me a yell when you are in the West
Sincerely
Willy
