Taking a punt

(1/3) > >>

Les Symonds:
I took a punt on a couple of auction lots and bid on the internet for them.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
How about this.....
sycamore 13 1/2 x 2 1/2
oak 12 x 1
      12 x 2
      13 x 1
      14 x 1
 elm 13 x 2 1/2 (spalted burr)
        13 1/2 x 2
beech 11 x 2 1/2 (spalted)
          13 x 3 (spalted)
ash 8 x 2
      9 x 2
mahogany 6 x 1
                6 x 1
                12 x 1

...all 14 pieces for £25. I smell a profit!  ;D

...and that was just the first lot....the second lot had a big block of camphorwood, a 2x2 of zebrano, a small lump of Australian burr, an elm burr and a load of banksia nuts.

The Bowler Hatted Turner:
good for you Les well done.

Twisted Trees:
That's a good price for that set so long as it's not £50 for delivery. Wood is expensive, and precious it's not like it grows on trees :)

Bryan Milham:
Good luck with the camphorwood, please see my previous post on that stuff!

But Good luck with all the others and well done on your 'punt'.

thought the tree surgeons of Bala kept you going or have you used that pile around the house
