Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I found a heap of this Japanese Pepper tree wood at the tip one day.
Rough turned this crotch piece and packed it in the green shavings in a cardboard box and forgot about it. It lay undiscovered until I was looking for another piece. Hello, what's in this box??
Unfortunately most of the bark had separated whilst in the box so I just had to make do.
The bowl is 9 1/4 at it's widest and stands 5 1/2 inches tall, sanded both on the lathe and by hand to 400 and then sprayed with Satin varnish.Hope you like it and thanks for looking.C & C Welcome.Bob.

Serving Platter - Woody Pear Tree. Tropical Cyclone Seroja Victim

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


These Woody Pear Trees grow in our Kalbarri National Park, therefore protected, but following a trip to see how much of the vegetation was damaged along the main road I saw this tree laying in the gutter and spread out onto the road.
So Dangerous that I went and asked the head Ranger was there any “POSSIBILITY” that I could remove the danger.
He said it would be OKAY so within half an hour I had all my gear packed into the trailer and off I went to save the world.
I JUST LOVE THIS TIMBER.
Obviously this was a crotch with three branches and about 5 inches at it's thickest.
It's 13 1/2 inches long, 12 inches across the widest part and is 2 1/2 inches tall.
Sanded both on the lathe and by hand to 320 grit and finished with multiple coats of Kitchen Oil.Hope you like it and thanks for looking.C & C Welcome.Bob
