Looking forward to my course in April :)

Looking into possibility of renting a wood. Some of them are pretty cheap!

Still desperately searching for a private wood to set up in and work with the school kids......I'm doing climbing/assault courses/pot-holing type stuff with them at the moment but what I really want is to get them back in the woods
 
Your work looks fantastic, munky, really professional results, and great results from Jonnys kids as well. Im really impressed, if I even look at wood it splits. :)

I had a piece of cherry that had a sizeable chunk fly off. Going to have to be a side plate or something now lol

There are some excellent craftsmen on here ninja Harris is brilliant. Also the Russian chap has some real skills in making knives and leather work!
 
Good day fine fellows and ladyfolks's.

I am learning to woodturn in the old Clarke lathe I found in our shed. So far I have made a nice bowl out of some walnut I ordered online.

I am currently making what will now be an egg cup having begun much bigger �� out of spalt beech.

I am going to a rural sale where turning blanks, chisels, gouges will be for sale.
Really loving it. Very relaxing.

I have some newly cut cherry to season coming tomorrow. Any tips? I know it's nice wood once turned.

Also there is a cypriot pine. Not familiar with that wood.
I know what that bowl is for;) all your left over nuts bolts and washers :eek:

Very nice :)
