Post a photo of the last thing you turned

[pat from Marck]

SWMBO gift, took a while to put together as I want to allow for seasonal movement without it pulling apart so the rings are held in place with double sided tape, I then drilled a hole for the copper wire of the flower spike to go through into the post, this was superglued in place so effectively only held permanently by that with the tape providing support. The rings, post and base are Oak and the flowers are Silver Birch epicormic growths and copper wire stamens to hold the birds. The base is dished so she can keep jewelry and bits on in

Thanks @pat from Marck @Fergie 307 @Owd Jockey , she does love it and now feels guilty she didn't get me anything (we're broke and anything I'd want is expensive), originally I was aiming for something with light as often happens a design change was required im pretty happy with it but not 100% sure about how well the rings will hold as they move with the humidity, hopefully being attached permanently by only the 1.5mm thick wire and supported by double sided tape will allow everything to move without blowing apart
@Mick p thanks Mick, not sure about being a master, maybe an experienced novice . A happy new year to you and the wife
