well itīs been a while since i posted anything... but i have been swamped in work .. (and yes im still unemployed hehehehe)

but i have been hunting burls as you can see... 2 trailer loads og FREE elm burls..... so i have been bandsawing from hell... but also been turning small bowls pens and lots of bottlestoppers... the very bad picture is from my phone and are the 14 display stoppers i have sold latests.. most of all the other stuff was out the door almost before it left the lathe...... i will post more and better pics when i get them :)

the stoppers are for sale at one of the only danish pro turners.. his words where "great sence of shape, great finish a pro job"

yep ... but this is denmark... prices on tools and stuff are high and nobody wants to pay for the goods... remember we are all included only 5 mill. people in denmark...

Good to see you posting again Rasmus! I figured you were up to your armpits in curlies since you got your new lathe! Nice gloat on all the burls! Won't be long and there will be 2 pro-turners in Denmark! LOL Keep up the good work!
