Hi Martin,
I like all three - if I had to chose, the acacia burr would be my favourite

Hi Martin

I also like them all but if I was voting the coloured one would be 1st followed by the sycamore then the acacia.  and that's based on nothing but visual appeal.  It is a close call between 1 and 2 for me.

Very nice Martin,

I like the subtlety of the greens / blue in the coloured piece but the overall end colour is perhaps a bit yellow?

Are you still getting on well with the Rolly or do you have a new weapon of choice?

Hi All,

Thanks for your comments.

Simon, Yes I still use the Roly Munro to hollow, I also have one of the Kelton hollowers as well which is great for the udercut parts.

Cheers Martin.

Not sure about #3...love acacia burr, and the void, but the top seems a little flat in the picture...but could be the photo rather than the form...

#2 is fine. no problem with it.

#1 wasn't at all sure about but have looked a few times now and it's grown on me. I also thought it might be too yellow, but then if it wasn't you probably wouldn't have the green striations in the growth layers around the upper section, and I love those...so settled on an " i like it"...

you have been busy though, haven't you
