Gee strange looking rolling pins, you must have fun making pastries

hi guys,
had a bit of a play on the weekend,i took advice from the forum
and the owner wanted a bowl on the top[for a plant pot or similar]
and some of the original timber as it was in the start,also a feminine
shape or flowing lines
so i attacked it with a arortech ,first time i have tried it so i was
a bit apprehensive at first but it worked o.k.
this is the rosewood blank so far
cheers smiife

hi guys,
just another update from the weekend,starting to take some shape
i think,any comments and advice
cheers smiife

I have seen and bought used roller skates in junk stores with quite serviceable wheels for $5.00.

Inline skates or skate board wheels work well. I like your shape for the vase keep the wip coming.

hi paul,
the stores we have over here will not sell such things,
i went to two different stores [vinnies/lifeline]type stores
and was told they are not allowed to sell them,what kind of world
are we living in these days by protecting people from such dangerous
items as skateboards/rollerskates .
wow ........ am i sounding like a grumpy old man
