A bit of joint making, doubling up a short tenon with some dominos on this jamb/threshold joint. It might be overkill but it's a big frame for a big door.

Up for grabs is this English elm and oak box that I've recently finished.
.
.
The sides are made from a beautiful piece of character elm, and the top, base and inner compartments are made from puppy oak. The top has been hand-textured to give contrast to what lies inside.
.
.
Inside is fully lined with blue pigsuede leather, with a removable compartment and a note store in the lid.
.
.
The hinges are top quality solid brass @brussohardware made in the USA.
.
.
The box measures 200x125x75mm making it perfect for stationery, jewelry and trinkets.
.
.
For £120 this box can be yours - and I'll include postage to mainland UK.

I've been having some fun the past few days with starting to make the windows for the house. I'm using fairly deep sections to take double glazing which will make the house that much warmer. The oak for the sashes is dimensioned ready to be moulded, mortised and tenoned and put together next week...Lots of oak, shavings and dust for now.

Happy to share with the world that I've gratefully received public funding from @aceagrams @tnluk to help progress my making through the current tricky period. I'll be using the funding to look at hosting courses from my workshop, and exploring ways to progress my own making into the future. Thanks again National Lottery and Arts Council. .

Today I finished off a very large shelf unit made

Today I finished off a very large shelf unit made to a customer's drawings, in their own oak cut for them a number of years ago. The whole piece is held together with sliding dovetails and no glue, to allow for movement due to the oak being air dried. .

This week I'm working on three carver chairs, all in oak and elm. Here are the the parts all ready to be put together after I've made the side stretchers, aprons and seats. It's a nice batch of oak and I managed to get quite a bit on the quarter, so there are lots of medullary rays throughout all the pieces. The elm balls remind me of the of Jupiters atmosphere - it makes me think perhaps I should do a solar system themed chair. .
The chairs will have three different finishes, and are destined for different customers. .
