long time away

Getting close

3 1/2 days and I will hopefully be at or close to my new home. Loads of work been done for me by the sound of it. Can't wait to see it. New life beckons LOL

Not long now

One more week. This time next week I will hopefully be unloading the van at my new home. Feel like a kid leading up to Christmas....can't wait but have to LOL

Going Home

Just 10 days and 15 hours and I will hopefully be in my new home, starting a new job and a new life. All exciting !!!!!!!!!! Also have a new workshop to set up so hope that is cleared and ready to get started on.

Odd requests

Being a woodturner means that every now and then you get some unusual requests. This week I have been asked to make a pair of wedding rings in Lignum Vitae, a handle for a sword for a martial arts exponent and some bobbins for a spinning wheel.. Oh well, they say variety is the spic of life. I'll post some pictures when done.

Bean tree wood: rustic bowl

 This bowl is approx 10" diameter and 8" tall and is made from a bean tree (or part of one anyway LOL) I love these pieces with loads of contrast in the look and feel of them. This was really hard wood and I have some more bits of it so watch this space

Liberty's says no

I have just heard that Liberty's have decided they don not wish to stock my work. Oh well c'est la vie. Looked promising for a while but never mind. We had a great weekend in London with my daughter and co so no harm done. At least I tried.
