    Default G'Day from Central NSW

    G'day,
    I'm semi-retired live on a bush block north of Orange and occupy myself with way too many hobbies working with wood being one of them.
    I've pottered with wood ever since I was high enough to reach the bench in my old man's shed way back when.
    Do a range of knick-knacks for local gift shops using wood from recycled shipping pallets but purely on a hobby basis for a bit of beer money.
    I've dabbled in carving - mostly stylised native animals, wombats, lizards etc, mostly from native timber and I am hoping the forum may allow me to learn more about carving and finishing techniques.
    Cheers Derek

    Welcome Derek. The third pic of the Echidna is just an excellent piece of work - such a good thought process went into using that burl!
