I like the way that you think outside the box, Ed....many of us wouldn't have had the foresight to make a stand like that, but it works so well.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

I like this one a lot. The repeating decoration is just enough. Well done.

Great work Ed, but if you get a chance, you might just run a plane across the sawn edge of the Bog Oak.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

Thanks for the comments Nick & Bryan.

Bryan I did consider planing that edge of the Bog Oak and sanding that and the ends, but decided to leave it as I was leaving the rest of the Bog Oak untouched.

All the best
