Tempest in Olive Wood (from our very own Neil Lawton)

I have only been turning for about a year now, keeping away from the top end kits. At one point I did push the boat out and purchased some JR Gents. Great kits, you could tell the difference between those and slimlines. Then I entered a competition on here and was presented with a Tempest, then asthma poked its nose and I didn't get to make the kit. Well, today I managed it. The difference in this kit to a JR is enormous. Absolutely love everything about it, the fit, the feel, the look. Yes for me on disability they are more expensive that the kits I normally go for however I will be getting more of them.

It is ever-so-slightly under turned the photos make it look far worse than it is.

thanks for all the great comments
