Absolutely gorgeous.

FWIW, I think it's nice not to spill the beans even if you know. Keeps it special for next year! I don't know about everyone else, but I find it very inspiring along with all the other lovely projects everyone posts during the year.

And all thanks to you Stig for organising. X

Wonderful selection of turning timbers - soooo looking forward to playing. Thank you Santa! X

Well I am truly chuffed with a cracking box of lovely wood from Santa! I even escaped to the shed for an hour 😁 Culinary duties call, but I shall be looking forward to playing with a tasty bit of cocobolo! Hope you all have a brilliant day however you spend it.

Merry quacks to everyone.

Welcome from me too. Looking forward to seeing output from your workshop.

Not many sleeps left! Getting really excited and looking forward to seeing everyone's photos. X

Is there a rule of thumb for timber pricing (if sound)? By the cubic foot or by weight perhaps? I think someone advised that £5 per kilo might be fair but I don’t have the experience to know.

I believe my chum has approached the local club but this was some time ago. Do you think separating out the pieces without obvious intact attack would be a good move?
