Well,
Got the bench finished this lunchtime so the lathe has somewhere to live (tight yorkie, no way I was buying a bench so made one)
Found a couple of bits of wood that I bought years ago to make stick heads with, never got round to using them.
They are spalted beech and pearwood, 8 x 8 x 1/1/4.
I thought I could maybe bandsaw them into blanks ?
Also I have lovely straight piece of blackthorn which was for a stick, the top might be a decent diameter, would that be useable?
Any thoughts ?
I also have some buffalo horn that has pretty thick walls, would that be any good to try with ?
Cheers
Phill
