I have seen those logs at Yandles, who would have thought they would turn out like that.

Graham
I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

 If anyone one would like to see some nice Masur Birch click on Pauls site  and go to coloured vase.

   Hi Steve  We were very lucky this visit managed to get a full log. All the others were cracked and cut in half.
