i really like the goblet gerry, and i think the slight distortion just makes it a bit quirky and gives it character, you say you live on lairded land what region do you live in?

Thread: Princess Beatrice Royal Wedding Fascinator Chair

12/09/2011 01:46:37

all i can say is wow! woodbridge (can i call you woody) that is a lovely piece of work, was the back piece made from a single piece of wood? you have achieved an amazing finish, the whole thing almost looks moulded, when i first saw that hat i printed a picture for my inspiration folder because i thought that it would make a lovely frame for a mirror, a chair back didnt even occur to me, as a matter of interest, where did you source your walnut for your maloof chair? i have been trying to source some nice walnut for a project of my own but have not been having much luck so far,

Thread: trying to identify a wood

12/09/2011 01:32:29

hi guys, a friend of mine was recently clearing his deceased fathers shed out and came across a piece of wood that neither he or myself can identify, i am hoping to add a foto at some point but for now all i can do is describe it, henrys dad said it came from africa it has a dense interlocking grain and no discernable sapwood, the most startling thing about it is the colour, it is a lovely mid to dark green, henrys dad used to make a lot of musical instrument parts, (chanters and clarinets etc) so it may be a wood specific to that kind of manufacturing, i have only seen a green piece of timber once before and that was a strange piece of mahogany that i never saw again, so does anyone have any ideas? i want to find out about it as i want to give henry a fair price for it.

Thread: my first attempt at carving.

12/08/2011 19:26:14

Thread: Dumper truck

05/08/2011 02:55:59

beautiful piece of work, makes me think longingly of my childhood tonka toys

Thread: What are good starting tools?

03/08/2011 16:56:49

this is the first time i have heard of bench dogs and it has decided me that when i make the new shed i will include a bench with vices on the ends instead of my current built in style, they seem like a jolly clever idea, although with my carving pieces right now i have some random one inch holes in my work surface that i put oak dowels in so i can push the piece up against when working with the chisel so it doesn't skitter away when you smack it

Thread: House Nameplate

03/08/2011 09:56:58
