Another Mallee burr
« on: July 27, 2012, 02:25:17 PM »
I got quite a few bits of Mallee Burr from Turners Retreat they were doing buy three and get the cheapest one free this piece is 12" across two ways and 3" deep turned on my O'Donnell jaws it had quite a few voids in it so I filled them with brass powder and resin and I think on this bit it looks better than before I filled them finished with sanding sealer and paste wax and buffed with a shoe brush I hope you enjoy it comments welcome

I'm with George, not sure about a bead, but certainly a shadow line would have defined the bowl better.

Not withstanding personal views, you've done that bit of Malee proud.

Hi Woody,
             on looking again after George commented I think I agree with him but I would make it a hit and miss bead.
