Its been a long time between posts, a lot of water under the bridge so to speak. I have been turning buts been in fits and starts as the style I do is often best suited to galleries rather than markets, well here in Oz anyway.
Therein lies the problem, galleries, if it aint done in 'oils' or made from clay etc etc it aint art. So I have been moving around various galleries with some success to down right dismal. The problem is I live in a city of 5 million and the serious collector would number in the hundreds and thats too small for any gallery.
So this one I will be looking further a field to market. Its rather small 4.5x4.5" finished with AO and buffed. The wood is a native that comes form an area about hours drive from where I live, Blackwood or Acacia Melanoxylon its is easy to turn and takes a good finish, unless it picks up some silica in the surrounding soil.
Comments, thoughts etc most welcome
