Yesterday I picked up some very nice Sycamore and today I spent most of the day processing them into Bowl blanks.
Some of these are for Teaching and some I will sell to recover some of my costs.

Bought as boards.

 Cut into squares ready to cut into rounds

Tom was treated to a days woodturning experiance by his Wife Rosy who joined him for the day
