Turnfest Masters

John van der kolk trying to hide behind goods in the tool shop a bit hard for a man who stands 6'7". What a great guy and an incredible carver.

J Paul Fennell, what a true gentleman he is. I could sit and talk with this man all day and never once touch on wood.

Stood behind him at his tool shop demonstration at Turnfest, watching first hand his work. Liked the burrs he used and hope to acquire some.

If Gordon ever gets over to Western Australia to demonstrate, don't miss it.

Gordon's work is so fine and delicate, nearly paper thin 1mm and the detail and colour were outstanding.

What a highlight, being invited to demonstrate with 39 turner/carvers from throughout the world at Sea World Gold Coast Australia.

Oh, and for the piece I was turning not to disintegrate

Couldn't resist taking a photograph showing close up view of cup burr embellishment

Refined the spine a little with the shape improving

A quarter of the way embellishing as this sculpture is to be viewed from both sides
