Pic Posting suggestion....

[Chip Sutherland]

I really appreciate the pieces posted to this forum. But I have a want. I want to see what the blank looked like BEFORE the finished product. I want to see big, ugly, dusty, lichen covered firewood..then...beautiful bowl, platter, etc. I see blanks in stores and occassionally wood on the side of the road but I don't have the vision of the 'swan inside'.

So guys & gals (Carol) ...let's see the BEFORE with the AFTER !!!!
:D :D :D :D :D

Chip, I'm with you on this. I think it would help a lot of us newbies. Thanks for suggesting this.

I agree too. And I agree to do my part as well.

In the meantime. here's a link (http://www.gyniahouse.com/caw/Platter_Making/) to Richard Allen's platter making photo series. It's terrific and sets a standard for this concept.

Chip, I dug around and found some pics of some Pear and the HF I posted a few weeks ago. I'll try to remember to take some more before pics.;)

Sounds like a plan to me. Don't know why we haven't done that before!
