Well its been a while, but should get here a bit more often now
Will be a part the the Wood Working exhibition at the Lavender Farm at
105 Quayle Road, Wandin Yallock 3139
From
6 – 21 September 2014
10am to 4pm

Hope to see you there.

Spun up a few interesting pieces recently, one is shown here.
It is a 100 year old plus old fence post from east gipsland area with a TOW Time In Space clock mounted in it.

Well folks, finally back to a few rambleings about what been happening in the TOW woodturning world.
Slabbed a 100 plus year old messmate tree with a couple of mates a few weeks back and am hoping that is dries out without to much checking and cracking. Will still be 4-5 years till i can get to use it but if it works out it will be stunning as it is full of fiddleback.
Would be ideal for turning blanks as well as some very pretty table tops.
The last trip to Tassie saw some stunning blackwood and Huon Pine logs picked up and milled and now will have to wait for those to dry out.
Will spin up a few pieces wet from the Messmate and if they work out ok i will upload a few pics to the gallery page on the website.
Still have a few shear sanders at the reduced price as listed, $65.00 plus P&P
Once gone will have to consider if i can continue manufacturing locally as very hard to compete with inported products.

Regards
Mr T.O.W

Hi folks,Well have moved into a new larger workshop that also came with a new house.
Funny about that.
After moving machinery and large amounts of timber we are back in front of the lathe, finally.
Tis the busy time of year as we gear up for the silly season. So will be turning out all sorts of old and new ideas.
Will have lots of lammiated cutting boards out of vic ash and blackwood and some new lamps of varied designs soon. Will try to get a few of them in my Gallery page, so please check them out.
If your are looking for some unique timber gifts or something for yourself let me know and i will see what i can do.

Cheers
The Turner

Well folks, have been a little quite here lately.
But lots have been happening. Will be moving to a MUCH bigger workshop soon so am looking forward to that. Should give me the chance to start producing some small furnature pieces that were a bit of a problem at the current location.
Also will be making a lot more stock on the lathe.


Brought back some stunning timbers from Tassie on the last trip in april and should be able to get some pics up here soon. Here is a little taster.



My Unique Time In Space Clocks in Tasmanian Native Olive and Some stunning highly figured Tasmanian Blackwood.

Cheers for now.
Mr. T.O.W.

Weeelll we’re back.
Just back from our most southern state with a ute full of that amazing Huon Pine..
Managed to buy and mill 3 fantastic birdseye logs and have them racked up for future use once dry.
Also some paperbark and some stunning figured blackwood.
Hope to have a few pieces turned out of the blackwood in the next few weeks and will try to get them on the Gallery page.
Have been flat out trying to keep up the gallery sales over the past 2 1/2 months, hoping it will go through till at least easter.
Thanks for all of you who have visited the site, still a lot more to come in the next few months.

Cheers
Mr T.O.W.

Morning all, just a quick thanks to Karen, your Time in Space clocks will be on the way soon.
Natural edge bowls are the order of the day at present.
Will try to get a few pics of them online when finished.
These are out of 100+ year old fence posts from the east gippsland area. Mostly old redgum and maybe some redbox timbers.
Dont forget to checkout the Galleries at the redgum restaurant Lilydale, Touchstone Gallery at Olinda, Town & Country at Yarragon and the Stonehouse Gallery at Warrandyte.
That all for now, about to go and instruct secondary students in vet engineering studies.

Cheers
Mr T.O.W.
