This week I'm working on three carver chairs, all

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. .

A very thin walled bowl made from some field maple that I found on the village green. It's starting to warp a day after being turned - let's see if it wants to split. .

My very very good chums at @folkeast are fundraisi

My very very good chums at @folkeast are fundraising to support the festival in these tough times. The festival has had to postpone until next year and needs vital funds to maintain this unique and brilliant festival in to the future. Please give what you can if you've ever been, or have never been, or intend to. It really is the best festival I've ever been to, and it just so happens it's in Suffolk and run by some great friends. #folkeast #folkeast2021

I managed to finish off this wall mounted cabinet

I managed to finish off this wall mounted cabinet this week. Made from three of the greatest English timbers, oak, ash and elm, joined with protruding dovetails. The shelves inside are adjustable giving it flexibility for all sorts of storage. It'll be off to it's new home next week. .

Went to the beech today. (Hah) This one in the village fell in the winter storms. Unfortunately all the wood was taken away so no chance of making anything with it. Still, the uprighted stump is still quite a thing to see.
