Good day
« on: June 11, 2016, 07:32:12 PM »
Spent the day at Burnham at a Stuart Mortimer demo. Good day, entertain and informative. Come home full of ideas and a lump of Manky laburnum kindly donated by Dragonfly who felt it was my type of wood lol. He's right. I'll get some before and after shots when I decide what make of it. Thank you George for organising the demo and Brian for the wood

I'll second that it was a great day. I walked away, well actually rode my my motorbike having learnt so many  new things, techniques and ideas, my head is still rerunning some of the ways Stewart did things.

Great day George,thanks again for the organisation.

Yes a wonderful day with Stuart, learned a lot and it was good to see a few of the forum members again. Took a few pics that will be forwarded to George. Thanks George to you and your team for putting on the day.
