WOODWORKER Ron Gough has created this stunning bowl as a birthday present for the Queen.
It has taken weeks for the 81-year-old to finish turning the intricate open work bowl which he created using 600 individual pieces made from six different types of woods, all natural in colour.
The finished product features crown designs around the outer edge and says ‘Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’ around a ‘90’ emblem in the centre.
Former mechanical engineer Ron, of Wilsden Grove, Redbrook, is modestly pleased with the end result and wants to send it safely on its way to Buckingham Palace.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
