I have always admired the skills of people who do wood turning and enjoyed the results of their skills.
Bowl turned from Xanthorrhoea. Photo by Jeff
This photo that Jeff sent to me was taken at an exhibition. The bowl has the most marvellous grain and colour. This is turned from the caudex (trunk) of a Xanthorrhoea .
hi. i am trying to track down the value of a xanthorrhoea turned lamp base
that i purchased in Albany West Australia in 1975.
. it is a fairly large lamp base for that type of wood. about 8 in diam at
base and tapering to about 2 inch at top. It is about 16 in high.
love dark grain and colour.
If you could send me an email. I would send photos.
Actually , I would like to sell the piece. the only one I found similar
was listed in ebay (in french). asking 490 Euros. and smaller than mine
lovely bowl
