I don't like the piece at all but the workmanship is stunning, well done!

Rob, It was more of an exercise for some practice as it involved a lot of different skills some of which I don't use that often (if ever) It is a third year piece done by the students at Newark College, I make jewellery boxes as a hobby and thought this would kill two birds with one stone, a fancy box plus some practice.....'er indoors collared it, now she wants something to put in it, no chance!!!!

I think it is stunning. Whether you like it or not, the time, effort, skill and patience that goes into something like that cannot be underestimated. Really nice piece of work :mrgreen:

I spend a good many of my 'Days out' visiting period houses and collections of the past contents of the same, whenever given access, a fair bit of time admiring the craftsmanship applied to the construction and finishing of the funiture.
Entering a room with that piece on display would engender the same level of appreciation, it shouts "pride in my work" and finish looks superb.

Thanks guys, I put it into a nearby village show (a small village hall thingy) today and was inundated with questions, there were a few turned items on show and yes you guessed it ...bowls....

Richard....2 or 3 Para?

I apparently missed this one the first time around...

I really should do some wip pictures!

If you have the photos, then yes - you should! It'd be fascinating to see. Having an empirical understanding of how something's done isn't quite the same thing as seeing it in progress!

(Also: as others have said - it's an impressive piece, and excellent taste in music. ;-))

Hi Andy

Started in 10 para, then "S Typed" into 3 Para, then back to 10 and then hung me boots up. :twisted:
