Spent today trying to tidy up the workshop.
My extensive collection of wood shavings has now been filed under B1N.
The place is still a tip but I don't get buried under an avalanche of waste, when I open the door!
Got a little sidetracked though, when I found this blank, and just had to give it a go.

Berberis normally fades to a orange brown colour quite quickly, but the root wood does seem to have a bit more colour fast property to it, though it is an absolute swine to season.
Not the best pic, I know, I like to take pictures of pens in natural light, but we don't seem to have had any of that today.
Regards,
Neil
