Here are a few beautiful turnings by another good friend of mine Gert Ferreira.
Carl these are also for the AW Article.
Gert will provide me with the dimensions and some annotations soon.
Gert enjoys working with any type of wood that has got holes or cracks in it. He takes it as a challenge to see what the end result will be and how far he can push himself in respect of design possibilities. Gert also believes that by keeping the holes and cracks as natural as possible it brings out the beauty of the tree and contributes to the appreciation of Mother Nature even more.
