Crikey Peter.. You be carefull, that will take some lifting and cutting up.

Having said that it would be nice to see what it's like when it's cut up. Looks like there are a few cracks in it that will need some dealing with.

Probably not the nicest piece of wood in your armoury Peter but I'm sure that it'll look superb when turned. :thumbs:

I kept it under cover off the ground for years but I may never use it what with so many things to do I shift it easy on a two wheel trolley better put it away again, my mate used a lot for veneers and boxes, he is the guy who makes 10,000 dollar boxes keeps his cut veneers in a wine cellar for stability.Trying to rationalise my stuff. Doc wants to see both of us tomorrow.
