G'day!
So, i have spent the last 4 days with my great friend Peter Hay. Peter and I have spoken many many times on the telephone, sometimes for hours, talking about our passion for timber and pens, amongst alot of other topics. We have bonded like very old and familiar mates in this short time of knowing each other. Peter drove 700 kilometres each way just to spend some time with me and my family, which was an absolute honour and I was truly humbled. Peter is 86 years young and one of the most motivated, enthusiastic, kind and very special people in my life. A true blessing.
Peter gave me many gifts, among which a magnificent hand made huon pine 'shack on a hill, sitting on a huon pine burl. The detail is just incredible. An elderly woodworker in Tasmania made it many years ago, named Woof.
There were many books, burls, skins and blanks to last me a lifetime also, which I am forever thankful.
This community has been such a wonderful thing for me. I have met so many kind and beautiful people. Thanks for reading, I've attached a few pics. My family just love him, especially my little one!! Whoosh!!!
