How far will Ubeaut Moderators go?
Well Ladies and Gentlemen
I was lucky enough to have a visit from Neil, (AKA Dai Sensei). He has travelled all the way from Queensland (if I was smart enough, I would put the link to his travelling thread 'here'... someone???.... please??) to glorious Perth Western Australia.
Well, I might have mentioned in passing that my ready use firewood bin MAY contain some Jarrah burl offcuts, but before I could say any thing else, he was into the bin like a rat up a drain pipe. Poor Easterners, we forget how blessed we are to have wonderful WA timbers that Easterners can only dream about. My kids were so embarrassed, 'Daddy, why is that old man stealing our firewood?'. I was at a loss. No doubt this will be discussed at school.
Anyhoo, he did leave me with a stunning piece of Dead Finish which I promptly cut up and had on the lathe before he had left my street. Absolutely stunning, he is welcome to rummage my bins anytime he leaves Dead Finish behind.
Cheers
Willy

PS Oh, do I need to put in a VTIC in here? Yep. Okay here it is VTIC

I was thinking that we could incorporate this to Dai Sensei thread but I think this is a much better place for it.
Members in WA please note;
When Neil visits tell him that you have some Jarrah burl offcuts in the firewood pile even if you do not.

I've been framed , not fair, taking photos whilst someone is indisposed
In my defence , each off-cut is enough to make >10 pen blanks, that I am sure my fellow Qld pen turners will appreciateNeil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new
