Cheers Pete, Bryan, T&D....it's the home-gallery of Tunnicliffe and Kyfin Williams.....and I get such a buzz out of knowing that they chose my work to be included.

Les,

I've no idea who Kyfin Williams, but I know and admire the works of Tunnicliffe, well done for getting in that gallery. It will put your work in front of a whole new range of people.

Well done Les. Well deserved

Graham
I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

Thanks Ed, appreciate that. One bit of good news.....the big beech bowl with the stitching failed to sell at the gallery, so it returned to the shop on Wednesday, was put on display on Friday and sold on Saturday - and no 'gallery commission' to be paid!
