    Hazel again

    This is the other side of the blank that made the skinny bowl I posted recently. It was one of those pieces that actually started to warp and move as it was been turned, perfectly dry but obviously a lot of locked up forces in it that changed as wood was removed. Finished in food safe oil as I...

    Challenge to self

    Hi all, Being as the weather is none too good and rather than sit around, I set myself a challenge. I was to put my hand into my well stocked discarded pen plank box, extract three pieces and make a slimline pen. All three pieces had to be used. :thinks: This is what I came up with. Unusual...
