That's good Brad, in fact it's better than even really good and what's even better is that you kindly gave me a piece to play with :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Cheers mate

Beautiful wood and turning.
I can't wait to start turning some of his Poplar burr. Did you stabilise the wood or did it go straight on to the lathe?

BTW. His Black locust burr is amazing too.

Stabbed it Paul, it was quite light so though it best, i have done a bit without stabbing it but it did require a sharp skew with very light cuts. Equally as pretty but snapped up before I could take a pic. :winking:

It is amazingly light. Really beautiful stuff. I got my vacuum plugged up and tested today so shouldn't be too long before I get something turned.
Do you have one of those small ovens? I need to get one.

Cheers
