Geo, Priceless Olive mate beautifully made and accented last night at my Wood Guild I had a yarn with Richard Raffan a member here as well the finial reminded me of him, he had copies of his latest book making toys etc.

I have a pen to post of Olive hesitating to show after this special Olive box.

Also I think I can help with a quick pic of my open box to take pics I made of conduit and fittings takes 1/2 an hour to make sat in foam plastic 50 mm thick base takes me 5 mins to set up in my lounge room the background white paper curved down takes away the lines across the back of the object these days I use thin white cardboard from the newsagency.

Kind regards Peter. Love your work mate.:thumbs:
