Good job Geoff!

I thought you were talking about wood and the com-pewter.

[David Newson]

Geoff - That's a nice bit of work, have you tried melting jewellery grade pewter yet for any of your work.

I recently saw Simon Hope professional woodturner at our club demonstrating melting pewter and incorporating into his hollow forms and they was quite stunning.

He is demonstrating at a woodshow to-morrow in Stile and Bates yard in Sutton, Dover. I know its a long way from you, but I hope to go , I'll see if I can get some pictures of his work and post them up.

That is a beauty Geoff. Well done.
