Start to finish
« 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?

This was a root-cluster in a friend's wood-shed
