Brian I was hoping I could. I've had an antler from an Indonesian 
Deer here for about 10 years waiting for someone to turn it.


A few months back I gave it to my brother-in-law who was over from 
Hobart, Tasmania. He turns bobbins and was keen to have a go. Alas, 
he told me that when he cut it the entire inside was like sponge and 
as such, useless.


However, if you're interested, last week at the Victorian Lace Day in 
Melbourne, I did buy an antique bobbin which I'm sure is horn. It's 
quite long and may just be antler for all I know. I'll photograph it 
if you want

Can anyone help me with a picture  of the above please.

If you can it may well pop up on the internet in a big venture i am working if
that is OK by any donor?

For the most part a picture taken from say 2 feet and in focus usually does.
You can use flash if you like.  In-focus is the key thing.

Keeping my fingers crossed

Many thanks

Hi,
If anyone reads this and is attending convention, we are meeting on Tuesday
evening in the Grand Ballroom at 6:30 pm.  It is listed in the convention
handbook.  We have the room until the tat off.

Today was the
opening dinner and the meal was very good for a hotel meal. The fruit
dessert was really nice. Shopping was good and I have not completely spent
up yet.
 Our hotel room is very spacious and comfortable.  Looking forward to my
Ipswich class tomorrow.
