Reg Hawthorne (UK) masur birch, africam blackwood and brass egg box 16x7cm. SignedI selected 2 pieces from Ray’s workshop, a small masur birch form which was set aside due to a fault in the wood and a piece of blackwood ready for a box. I turned the birch piece upside down and shaped it into an egg losing the flaw. The blackwood piece provided a box to form a base for the egg.To reflect Ray’s lifetime work and passion for woodturning the “surprise” inside the egg is a small brass lathe with a bed length of 1 inch, This was made in dedication to his contribution to the woodturning world, and a personal thank you for a friendship built up over many years on the AWGB committee.Reg HawthorneThe Ray Key Collaboration Auctionn
