I'd seen a couple of pictures of Gareth's work (there's a beautiful goblet in Bill's museum too) so I called him and ordered a wand, well, it has arived and boy is it nice!

It's Cocobolo, African Blackwood and Macassar Ebony, 2 piece with a leather case. It spins beautifully and looks (at least to my eye) very elegant.

There are pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/2w75bq7

I also have a very nice chop cup which I'll be reviewing in a couple of weeks which Gareth has generously donated as a competition prize...

I'll announce the competition to members of the my mailing list (and to be fair to people who do not want to join the list I will post something here too.)

Enjoy!
