Hi Gerard

Yes a very nice job again, and you kept the beach together, with the
pith in, that in itself is impressive.
I only turned spalted beech a couple of times, it is really nice
looking wood that way.

And yes you did a go job also building your site, especially the way
one is able to flip through the pictures, but I've seen that before,
the only thing missing in my point of view is,.... WHAT kind of wood
did you use for the turnings??????
I think most people, (not just turners) like to know what wood the
turnings are made out of.

And yes we don't always know the exact kind of wood it is but a lot of
times we do, you don't have to be correct all the time ;-)), just
give it your best shot.

I just got back from 2 weeks with my youngest son, as I got to be Opa
again for the 7th time, this time it's a Girl, so now we have 5 boys
and 2 girl grant kids :-))).
Been to busy to spent much time on the net, son and I build a great
pick-nick table and also quarried out a back filled a flat base for a
storage place we still have to build, and LOML was busy helping out
with the new baby.

Have fun and take care

Hi Leo,

Congratulations! What can beat the miracle of new life?

Thanks for your compliments.
The beech did split a bit, but it could be glued and filled when is
was at EMC.
The toughest was handling the sometimes very week spalted parts of the
wood, but CA came in very helpful.
On my wish-list regarding the website, there's the point you
mentioned: the kind of wood. The thing is, that more text means less
pixels for the picture, at the point the text-space is used up
horizontally, the picture becomes smaller.
You're right about not having to be correct all the time, my
perfectionism has its bright and its dark sides. People like you are a
great help to see this urge of mine a bit more relative.
I see that you and your LOML have a busy job being grandparents! Isn't
that great?

Groeten uit Holland (windmills, Delfts blauw and klompen (wooden
shoes) ;-)
