Hello All,
Just in order to present myself, new on the Creek and from
Belgium.
Since you love pictures, with an old work, turned in the nineties.
from Magnolia tree H57 X 112 cm square (my lathe is only a
Rockwell 11/14)
Regards and so long.
Lionel
PS: apologise for the text, maybe not realy good english.

Lionel - Welcome to the Creek! Great looking turning! Don't worry about the English - you already are better than most of us!

Looking forward to seeing more of your work real soon!

[Joe Chritz]

That is a fine work.

Don't worry about the language, it is better than some and light years better than my Dutch or French.

Welcome aboard.

Joe

Welcome to SMC. Lots of good people and lots of knowledge. Great looking piece Lionel.

[charlie knighton]

very nice, your Belgian magnolia seems to have a tighter grain than the southern magnolia here in virginia

Welcome Lionel. Good looking stuff! Don't worry about the English, I speak Southern(USA) and most still understand me.

Looking forward to more pics of your work.

All the best.

Lionel,
Quite a unique piece. Welcome-always interested in woods and turnings from different places. English is perfect as far as I can tell. Hope you show us a lot more pictures.

[Allen Schmid]

Lionel,
Welcome aboard! This is a great group of turners, I am sure you will find them all to be a real benefit when questions come up. Your work looks great.

[Dave Noon]

Welcome Lionel.
Nothing wrong with your English or your turning.
Nice peice with nice grain. Can be a tricky thing to turn being square.

Although I think you meant to state the dimensions in mm not cm.
57cm x 112 cm is approx 22-1/2"H x 44" square!

Dave

[Toney Robertson]

That is VERY cool.

I love it and I don't say that often.

If all your stuff is that sweet I need to sell my lathe and take up knitting. :D

Hi Dave
Not so tricky job, I've glued sacrificial wood around to not cut
always air and wood . And then after completing the job, I sawn
this sacrificial an sand the edge.
Many thanks to all for your welcome.
So long. Lionel
