A very busy Monday evening, no charcoal this time (well not as much anyway) but lots of turning and of course one or two diversions "off topic" as always.
Gary Lowe had a visitor to his workshop! Arun paid a visit to Gary and (unlike his trip here) he managed to get some turning done ! Of course with Gary leading things we have lots of colour and texture. Gary also managed to make a burr elm hollow form...very nice!!
John Brown sent over some photos of a couple of pieces, one in Holly and the other in Lime - a burr Lime piece with added labrador...see if you can spot it?
Kevin Purdy sent over some photos of a bowl he had made. The exterior has been finished with an egg tempera paint, for those of you interested in this ancient technique you can find out a bit more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempera
Len Shield sent in a couple of photos of Walter the dog...not only does this dog win prizes it also visits hospital to help children who are ill.
Margaret Garrard went on a trip to a club near London and on her visit stayed at a hotel with a difference. The hotel formed part of what was once an airport servicing London. Lots of memorabilia and even a plane in the car park!!
Paul Howard sent over some photos of a trip made to Austria some time ago with Simon Hope. As you can see they seem to have some rather large scale turners in Germany...overseas travel may be required!!
Richard Dickson sent over some photos of a commission piece. A funeral urn for Richards late Father in Law, made in Ash with a threaded lid. Lovely piece of work!
As always we had several contributions from others so, if you showed something, then please do send over some photos you can do it from your mobile phone.... it's not that hard, just ask a teenager for help!!
DON'T FORGET: YOU SHOULD SEND OVER YOUR PHOTOS FOR MONDAY EVENING RIGHT AWAY FOLKS!!
