departed for a climate change conference in Bonn, Germany.
Tantric Turning!
More pics of the new "Baby"

Assegaai (Curtisia dentata) 125mm (h) x 105mm (w). Images of a San/Bushman
hunt.
The large Antelopes are Eland.
The San believed that only the Eland knew of the presence of Cagn, the
supreme being - wherever the Eland were gathered in great numbers, Cagn was
sure to be nearby.
The Eland reigns in San mythology as the closest living creature to Cagn,
and the only earthly link with their "god'.
Carved vessel.
Karree (African Summac) (Rhus lancea)
130mm x 67mm
More pics of pieces I have turned on the Stubby will have to wait till my son Chris returns from his climbing expedition in the Drakensberg with our cheap digital camera.
My decent camera was stolen from our bedroom while I was in the workshop and Gigi and Chris were in the house. In Africa never even leave your garden gate open for five minutes till you bring the car in from the street!!!
