....and on a lighter note!
« on: March 21, 2017, 07:35:09 PM »
I have a customer who has several oak beams, 8" square and several feet long, cut from trees on his family farm. He loves having things made out of them, but doesn't have the necessary skills, so I make stuff to his ideas, and supply them sanded to 120grit....he wants to do all the rest.

This was his latest idea....an egg, and an egg cup. Nothing unusual in that, except that they're 22" tall!

He's bonkers, but it's fun stuff to do.
C&C always welcome....Les

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

An egg cup of an ostrich egg.

A bonkers customer, always the best sort, nice to have some fun.

Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!
