This is the magnificent piece that Sue didn't win, it resides in New Zealand now.......

Eli Avisera and Binh Pho hamming it up for the camera. Two of the most influential turners of their time. Wonderfully talented gentlemen and nice as well. ( My wife wished to win the raffle, first prize Binh's piece. Instead Binh gave her a book, then she paid for his signature)

Al Stirt this gentleman was someone whom I've admired his work all my turning years so to meet him was a real buzz.

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.
