Hi Woody,
What can I add, I'm so sorry to see your Health has stopped you from your large Pieces of turning, I've looked back through your posts since April and the wonderful diverse timbers and pieces that you've shared with us all on the forum over the past year, I should hope we'll see the best part, if not all and more besides of the 200 kits converted into the usually wonderful pens you make and your report on the kits used.
As said you have a wealth of skills and knowledge to impart with us all, things some of us have forgotten and other as yet need to know, as with seeing your work and the lastest of the large Cherry bowl, there would be those who would of consigned it to the fire or hacked into smaller pieces, but not you, you saw something in it, in view you are a Master if not by title or letters in the craft and other have so far learnt and can still learn from you the skills, understanding and insight to turn well, if not the same without fear, so it's hoped we've not heard the last of you on here as yet and you continue to love and enjoy your turning, when you can fit it in between the toy making, now should they have any part turned we want to is them, after all it's still wooden.
It has not just been your work, but your homemade wire wool/vinegar finish, drilling jig, sharping jig and hollower that you've so wonderfully shared as well. Thank you.
What no gardening ...
.. only wish we were near to help.
Is there anything the Doctors can or will do with regards to helping or making life that little better, is there an op. or anything, we hear as to what can be done these days or is it all down to the sherbets.
Wishing you remain in the best of health for along time to come.
Sincere regards. David
