I didn't know I wanted them when I was over at yours, but there is so much Holly within 20 metres of me. I think you should turn some for your grandchildren.

I put it on the lathe and for the first time just listened to the wood and followed instructions.:thinks: It was stop start on the lathe all the time just so I could see what was actually happening with each cut as you couldn't really tell much while it was spinning, with it being so off-centre. It was real fun though, you should try it at least once:thumbs:

Wonderful work, I will unashamedly steal that idea for my girls. Thanks for showing.
