Hi Jon,
been off-line for a couple of weeks due to a house move, so i'm trying to catch up with everything on here and have just found this thread. Just wanted to say what a fantastic job you've made of the bowl and the cup, i'd love to see the progress shots

Where'abouts you going in Sweden?

Cheers Jon, look forward to that.

The trip sounds great, i'm sure you'll have a fantastic time. I've got a Road map of Sweden you can borrow if need to, PM me if your interested and i'll stick it in the post to you.

That is the nicest colour of wood i have ever seen!! Bloody fantastic mate! That is one top notch mortar and pestle! Well done mate!

I cant beleive the colour transformation!

I cant find any beech nuts this year! i havnt seen one for a few years infact! all the shells are ther but no nut inside! anyone know why that might be?

 

[JonnyP]

Cheers Jon...That is almost the last of the cherry wood I have...I gave a load to a mate who does up old steam engines to burn.....DOH.... I have a knotty log a half a decent log left.....
It was an ornamental cherry if anyone wants some, but I don't know which....

 

[SOAR]

That looks spot on fella, very nice indeed.

Thats too nice to use as a mortar Jon - that'd be a posh fruitbowl to anyone else!

Love it - best pictorial in yonks!
