    Double length Key ring.

    Hi All, This is a blank I made a while ago. The colours didn't mix that well but still got some nice patterns. Maybe I could engrave something on the white strip so it doesn't look so out of place. Resin Key ring - YouTube

    A very nice surprise

    This evening a young lady knocked on the door with a small parcel which the postman had delivered to the wrong house number even though it had my address on it. Reading the Label I see it is from the other side of the world, yes you guessed it Australia. Inside there is an early Christmas card...

    Stabilised driftwood Tempest

    Picked this up on a beach in Wales, then stabilised. No idea what it is but it was really nice to watch it appear as I turned it!

    Stabilised Poplar Burr Alpha

    I'm quite pleased with this, some poplar burr stabilised by my own fair hand :-) I have some that look more colourful, but this was another test piece. Not as nice as Jim's perfect specimen I know, but I still think it dresses a nice pen.

    Ring

    More parcels

    I got a lovely surprise with the delivery of two parcels from Neil Lawton for Blind Veterans. These parcels were a collaboration between Neil & Dan. Neil bought some kits from Dan & instead of paying cash Dan asked him to send something nice to Bill Mooney for Blind Veterans. Thank you both so...
