Since the start of last year I've been inundated with a mixture of schoolwork and knife making so turning has taken the backseat,although I do still make the odd pen and bowl here and there for myself,friends or family.
I made this set out of london plane ,a JR Gent,3'' blade and a bottle opener.
Another set,although this was high end stuff,the wood is desert iron wood and the customer paid £60 for a block and asked me to utilise the offcuts so I made the bottle opener from spares.
After the few sets,I decided to do a variety of my 3'' blades
Left to right,there's standard walnut,oak,wenge,yew,burr elm,striped walnut and london plane. The block of pearlwood that they sit on is about 3'' deep and I got given over 3 of those blocks.
They all sold fairly quick so I made another set,from the left,there's oak,london plane,something I can't remember the name of,spalted beech,yew,zebrano,2 x burr elm,walnut and oak.
Then back to the one off commissions,a Damascus burr elm knife with mosaic pins.
And another Damascus,in spalted beech.
Hope you all like them,sorry for the lack of turned items
