Soldiers on Parade

Not my design but Colwin Way's published in the Woodturner magazine. I did change what they are holding. The family wanted something like this so I made extras which have now been snapped up already.

Ye gods, don't you ever sleep, your attention to detail and ability to finish gives me an inferiority complex.

I will be in Seiffen (German/Czech border) next week where the whole town is given over to the production of such, I'll see if they want to import some decent quality versions.

Very clever - but I can't imagine why on earth anybody would want them. :? Wouldn't do for us all to be the same, I suppose.

Converted to a Cruet Set ? --- remove one leg to fill --- would make an interesting Christmas table decoration.

Thank you every one. Chas this is something I started a while ago been working on them on and off. I had to repaint them as the first lot did not come out as I wanted.

Some people like to have these for Christmas how else will they crack their nuts :twisted:

Yet more quality.
Did I see one of your bowls on the cover of well known magazine too?
Nice to see you getting the acknowledgement you rightly deserve.

Not that I know of I which magazine, however have had 4 articles on my wooden model builds in "The Woodworker" Magazine and over 15 pieces of my work in a tiny section of the woodturner but nothing on the front in respect of bowls.
It would be nice to have a front cover for a bowl
These are the only three I have had a front cover picture one is a car just above the title. the other two one is the motorbike rocker and the other the truck the final article on a Australian Prime mover was not put on the front cover.

Well it looks like you were right I just found out that I got turner of the week twice one for the Shard piece and again for these nut crackers. And then only through Tweeter
