Hi Folks
Last weekend saw the Festival of the Tree at Westonbirt - a fantastic event!! And such a beautiful place to hold a wood related gathering. My thanks go to Mike Hancock for organising a fantastic line-up of stars
I've put a bunch of photo's on my website here......
Oh, and thanks to Martin at Brimarc for the coffee and lardy cake!!
There is another thread in the turning section for those who don't do the spinny thing :wink:
Cheers
Philly

Flattering, flattering you probably think that's something you do to a plane.

Phil,

Good pictures.
I am intruded by this chair

If you fell asleep in it would you wake up in the same place? :roll:
It really looks like it could walk about and pick its own spot in the room that it felt comfy in.

The chap had a load of different designs, Dave. I'll see if I have another pic.

Did anybody get chance to walk in the plantations? We are lucky enough to visit at least once a month all year.

'fraid not Paul, can't see why anybody would be obsessed or even interested in mono form wood work done on a machine.

Looks like a great fair Phil :shock:

 

[Chris Knight]

Did anyone combine this with Cheltenham?

 

[Good Surname or what ?]

Chris,

I combined with Cheltenham - but over 2 days. I could have spent the whole weekend at Westonbirt.

Unfortunately, no progress to speak of on the competition project so unless I get some workshop time today/tomorrow I'll have to withdraw
