Oak Ash and Sycamore

Yesterday my Son Mark and I picked up a load of Ash and Sycamore to go with the Oak that I cut up last week.I have got over 80 round Blanks from the Ash and Sycamore from 17" down.
This gives me over 200 Bowl blanks to rough out.
I probably have well over a thousand blanks now with the ones already in store.

Mike and Caroline

My first Students of the new year Mike and Caroline .
Today was Mike's Birthday present from Caroline his Birthday was in November so I expect it is a Birthday and Christmas present.
Caroline decides to come along and keep Mike company and I am pleased she did like Mike she was great company.
They were a real delight and easy to teach which made the first of the new year easy for me.
Mike turned a very nice Sycamore Bowl with a curved rim and Caroline turned a very nice Sycamore Bowl with a textured and coloured rim.

Thank you bothe for making life easy for me today
