Arthur Thompson

I am Welsh born and I have lived half my life in Wales and half in Australia so I reckon that makes me a "Welshstralian". For my biography, I must tell you of my first love. I am a second tenor and sing with the Victorian Welsh Male Choir which I reluctantly joined 20 years ago.

I have been a proud member of the Peninsula Woodturners Guild for about 8 years and it is where I have learnt all I know about Woodturning and I still have a long way to go.
My favorite woods are the fruit woods and my favorite projects are anything that is a bit out of the ordinary. See my "Cor bach". This is Welsh for a small choir and is an offshoot of the main choir.

The side table with magazine rack is made from meranti and is friction polished.

The plant stand is made from Meranti and finished with friction polish.

This lidded container had a design change. The bottom sort of fell out and so I created a lid and base. The bowl is in Huon pine and the lid and base in Sheoak with friction polish finish.

Cor Bach

The figures are turned on different centres; the head and body are one piece, the arms and legs are separate and glued on. Each figure has a different hair style and size and resembles an actual choiristers. The speakers in the "stage" are wired to a Walkman and can play tapes.
