	WOODTURNED OBJECTS FROM NATIVE AUSTRALIAN TIMBERS
	Ring Gidgee Bowl - slightly thinner in the walls and good contrast with the sapwood present. 10" diam x 4" high Small fat rim bowl from Ring Gidgee. The rings are very prominent in this piece. 10" diam x 3" high Waddy Wood bowl high with fat rim. This timber will turn a deep purple with time similar to purple Gidgee. Second densest timber in the world. 10" diam x 3" high Smaller bowl with thinner rim slightly concave. Made from Waddy Wood - an uncommon timber that is deep olive green when first worked and slowly turns deep purple with time and oxidization. This can be seen around the sapwood to the heartwood line. 10" diam x 3" high Small bowl from Poplar Box Burl, . The side and rim are broken using a couple of fine lines or a bead. Some of the prettiest burl available. 10" diameter approx 3" high Textured rim platter made from fiddle back Budgeroo. This shell pattern in the grain is not that common and when found is usually in the bend of a branch. The texturing is done using an angle grinder. 12" diameter Painted rim platter from River Red Gum. This is one of the techniques I use on my platters. This is a stippled finish where the metallic colours are dabbed over the base colour using a sponge. 12" diameter Thick edge bowl from River Red Gum. The textured rim is done using a texturing wheel held to the work while the lathe is turning. 12" diameter Thick rim bowl from Coolibah timber showing a small amount of rot in one spot.
