You want rustic?

As part of the continuing story of the fig.......... I rough turned this yesterday just to see how much it might move.

Quite why I persevere with this stuff I'm not sure but I suppose there might be something in there. Yesterday it was round. Today it aint!! So if you want to do oval turning without all the hassle of moving the centres - use fig

I like it that's half of the fun of turning logs you never know what you are going to get at the end of it LOL

Wow Gordon, you are getting really good at the carving lark !!!

Seroiusly for once, I like that and the shape ('form' se trop chic pour moi 8) ). I don't think that I would get away with it if I started taking big lumps out of any of our fig trees though?

Still ain't got the chance to get back into my workshop, but getting closer. I can now trype with 2 fingers. Shame itdon't improve the smelling thouhg?

Indeed: One of the reasons I never plan what I'm going to do. The discovery is half the fun.

Just keep tryping John and I'm sure all will be well very soon.

I much prefer that to the 'flower pot' types you did earlier, very attractive, strikingly organic shape.

Thanks Mike,

I quite like it now but as it clearly intends moving some more who knows if I will like it in a month's time??
The flower pot is still moving after a couple of months. It has a huge jubilee clip round the bottom to try and restrain it a bit but the clip appears to be losing the battle :shock:
