    Slimline Beechwood set

    Beech wood with Melamine Lacquer finish. Propelling pencil and pen set, not in one of my "home made" boxes either. But in a presentation box all the same. I do realise there is a place for my boxes and slimline ones aren't one of them

    Stabilised Cherry for May challenge

    Had this Spalted Cherry sitting around teasing me for a few years now. Far to punky to use as it was, but at last I got set up to stabilise it. I am rather pleased with the results and have plenty more to play with. And it helped me relax for 20 mins this afternoon before a busy weekend kicks off.

    Salt and Pepper set

    I have quite a few bowls balls so I set myself a task of making a salt and pepper set from just one of them. They measure 4 1/4" one way and 5" the other as they are not true circles, by cutting one in half I managed to get each pot from those and now they measure 2 1/4" each. The pots are...
