Bits of Timber #1

[Cwalker935]

After seeing some of George's beautiful blanks, I decided to take the plunge and order some blanks from down under. George was extremely responsive and gave me detailed tips for turning these blanks. For my first stab at these blanks, I turned an Australian Truffle and paired it with a Jr. statesman.

Geezzz mate, you didn't waste any time, didn't you...???:biggrin:

Very well done, the Truffle wood has a very distinctive grain so it some its own smell, it just doesn't compare with anything I know (not a bad thing)...!

Thank you for showing it to all of us...!

PS: For a minute, I thought that IAP (Jeff) had improved the pictures showing software, I have been hoping for a very long time, that Jeff would introduce this sort of pic displaying, it makes it so much easier to navigate and see details, I was quite happy until I finished replying and went to another thread also with pics, only to realise that, nothing has changed and I got very disappointed...!

However, if you can present your pics that way, would you mild to share with us what you are using as software...???

It would also be important to find out from Jeff, if this way of posting pics, interfere with IAP' normal data and image collecting for saving...!

Cheers
George

George: can you help me decipher this phrase "so it some its own smell"? I am not following that one.

Thanks

OK so, it seems obvious that you haven't notice the smell of the Truffle wood when it gets worked on, particularly sanding...! It may have been disguised from the smell of the PR, you need to try a Truffle blanks only, to know what I'm on about...!

Remind me the next time you order, I will send you one (or some halves)...!

Cheers
