Hello All,
Attached are a couple of images of a large turning (610mm high by 510mm diameter) from a very punky and spalted piece of Sussex Elm. The other image is of a bowl I was able to core out of the centre of the larger one. The actual whorl itself has greater structural integrity than the parent timber. It has been stabilised (hopefully) with 4 litres of 50/50 cellulose sealer/thinners then treated with OSMO Oil. In July I hope to be showing them at Chelsea School of Art where the Society of Designer Craftsmen is holding its annual exhibition, The Hand of the Maker.
