A bit different to your usual work George. More my type of thing (what I like, not what I can do :lol: ) Usual quality though

I still reckon that these are lovely.

The movement in the wood from the burl/scarring gives a really nice organic look.
Looks a bit like they were grown rather than made (if that makes any sense!).

I really like the design and shapes
how thick/thin are the walls of the
forms? and how long did they take to dry?

Dave

the walls are about 3/16" thick- they take about 3-4 weeks to be fully dry.
