Must admit this is my sort of thing. I really like these pieces with the dramatic contrast between turned wood and rough wood. A man and work after my own heart :lol:

Thanks very much all, you are too kind

I'll have a bash at a few more of these i reckon...
Nice cheap wood anyway, as it was rescued from the local woodyard's firewood bin! I was kindly given permission to liberate it gratis, although he looked a tad confused as to what on earth i'd do with it!

Steve, yep the pics are a touch dark. I tried the dramatic look, but it could do with a straight daylight shot or two. I'll try some more on the 'morrow....
