Title: Start to finish
Post by: z3ddie on June 13, 2015, 08:55:13 AM

As a newbie on here mainly turning offcuts from a carpentry company that gives me offcuts it would be really nice to see what life started out as with some of beautiful creations posted on here especially the gnarly spalted natural pieces.
If anyone has the time could they consider the start piece in their postings please?

its a good idea this before and after pics,you can then see how a person`s brain works in interpreting an idea in their head into a finished product.I`ll have to go through my old PC and see if I have any on there,cheers,
