A pair of elm pens. The Sedona is from a piece of elm burr I picked up whilst on a walk with the dog last year after it had been cut off and chucked into the side and the slimline a piece I bought at Yandles Show. It sounds like I nicked someone else's wood but it is a disused railway walk and they cut overhanging and protruding wood out of the way and this is one of those bits. Its very rotten but enough to make 3 or 4 pens.
