    Default Silky Oak Bowl.

    From a thread I started about 11 years ago, here is the end result.
    The photos from the original thread are gone but I had a copy.

    The whole process now is in an album on my facebook page if you are interested. Each photo has a caption.

    Geeez, Cliff, I hope you have a note for your extended absence from this forum....

    Welcome back!

    BTW - your face-whatever link is not working for me.
    Stay sharp and stay safe!

    I have a new lathe room, I enclosed 2 bays on the back veranda of the shed so I don't cover everything else in the shed in chips & dust.

    The Avatar is uploaded here, blame the forum, it is as slow as a wet week at present.

    Mate, I have about 50 started roughed out wet & left to dry, I also have about another 100 dry blanks just sitting there.

    I have to live to about 306 to use all the timber I have stashed.

    Yeah, there are a few people who aren't on FB, the item was finished for a fundraiser that was mostly promoted on FB so that is where I put the album.
    I have the story book in Word & PDF form but, the Word Doc is 13Mb & the PDF is 7Mb.
    I can just upload the whole folder of photos to FB & it downsizes them, I don't have to dick about.

    The platter sold today in a silent auction for $90, not bad I reckon.
    The proceeds go to The Charlie Teo Foundation for Brain Cancer Research.

    OK, for those who don't do FB, here is the story book in PDF form in Dropbox, it is a 7Mb file.
    If you try to download it in a year or 2, it may not work, I might need the extra room in Dropbox.

    Thanks for putting it up in this form for those of us who don't use FB. I learned a few things from the step by step process.
    So much timber, so little time.
