Project Information

What a great suprise, Sandra comes in from the mail box & proclaims "A package for you", so what's this all about, opened up and a set of beautiful coasters from Paul in Canada.
These are double sided with an inlay of NZ one side & one of our Pacific neighbours on the other.

Had to check with Paul that these were actually done on his hand built machine & yep they were, he even sent some photos of the WIP.

I will now appreciate even more now when I see some of Paul's handy work as to the standard of craftsmanship & sheer skill shown even in a simple coaster set

These will be treasured my friend, but I have to say they were christened last night.

Don't ya just love this site, more importantly the folk who make it work

Hey Pete, the island on the other side is Vancouver Island.
I live just a little way up from the bottom the east side.
Good to see them put to good use.

That is the very reason this site is so great. We all seem to be like a big family surprising one of the members from time to time. We share our talents literally!!

Nice going Paul. I saw first hand what can be done on the Chevalet by getting to use it. It sure produces some fine looking pieces and you are a master at it!

Pete, you lucky guy!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers…............Jim

Very nice gift Pete., and kudos to Paul on a job well executed. It reminded me of my New Zealand " memento box" with the inlay on top.
