Fantastic stuff.
Others may be more interesting in terms of wondering how they were made but in all honesty yours are the ones I'd want to take home.
No criticism is implied but if I saw most of the others out of context I'd think they were from the 1950s or '60s and wonder if this is down to the ages of the makers. My own tastes are more for bobbins, barley twists and Jacobean Oak finishes so I'd probably be thought very ancient indeed.
I was in an antiques centre yesterday and picked a couple of laminated bowls up and tut-tutted at the joints. When turned over they'd got felt underneath but I could still feel a lump in the middle and thought about you and your competition pieces.
As Col has said: thanks for letting us share your interests.
Cheers
