BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

No, thank you for doing such wonderful work. I don't think we'd all be as in awe if you were doing work like this! :rofl:
All I have to say say is wow! That is absolutely incredible.

Sascha, like I said in my PM, you should think about what I and Tazman said, your work will sell, and fetch a good price. Look at the touristy shops, those people have more money than they know what to do with.
You do great work my friend, and I knew I wasn't the only one who thought so!

size does matter
the problem is time. online is another option, but once you start browsing turning sites, you'll see there is a lot of talent out there.

I have been trying for years to get Norfolk Pine from hawaii, but it's hard. I could make so many cool pieces from that, I usually get mine from Florida, much denser and darker in color
the translucent bowls take from start to finish between 4-6 weeks to make.
once turned to about 1/8 of an inch the are submersed in a danish oil mix 24 hours then pulled out and wet sanded, dried for 24 hours and after that submersed again. I repeat this process about 15-20 times so those bowls are submersed in the oil mix well over 400 hours until translucent.
but I also love carving bowls after they are turned.
I havent had time to turn much, but soon I will start again.
you guys are very kind

I've got a friend that just moved out to Hawaii. What would it take to get that stuff shipped?
If you did want to do it full time, I'm sure you could get the stuff shipped oceanic. Would be less than air freight, but would take some time. You would probably want to get a bunch at a time, too.
