In the blank room found a box with these two blanks unturned the Spanish Olive Wood with a New Guinea Rosewood pair ready for Slimlines.

This was set aside in 2013 with others.

I bought them in France, got a kick out of getting them through a guy in France and besides Olive Wood is so different in the countries it grows.

Always neat to turn, the smell is a pleasure. Same pleasure those years ago when I turned the New Guinea Rosewood wonder if it will turn up on the CITIES list anytime soon.

No I already have a long time ago.But I have more. I tried to re frame this old pic from yrs ago, gave up used the two blanks Pic Brad. I am a babe in the woods on the computer.

It is so hot in the workshop but infinitely better than in the past several months.

The blank room had 26 Aquariums set up for years, I kept the steel framework for the tanks, shelved and voila blank room. Its next to the steel room housing the Metal Lathe etc, heaps ofstripped down photocopiers etc, I like their precision rods etc. The steel room had 400 African Violet plants for many years. I thought when I first set eyes on show plants everyone should keep them. The Violet growers are just as passionate as Penmakers, I grew them by hydroponics.
As an enthusiast and contributer it makes it more fun to participate.
