A few on going pieces

Made a start on a little relief today, a fox,hare and owl totem.
Then got bored and started on an owl from an oak branch.

I don't know why but I always find carving in the round to be more enjoyable than relief carving.

Bird box making workshop

The final session of six half day workshops ended yesterday, working with local children from the traveller community. They built several boxes to suit a variety of different birds and decorated them to their own designs.

They are on sale in a number of local stores and the proceeds will go back into Sefton's Complementary Education's pot to help fund another great young enterprise project.

Boards, boards, boards

Finished off my last batch the other day and sold a dozen to a fantastic local eatery & gift shop, The Courtyard in Little Crosby.

Well worth a visit, they do great food and lovely cakes :)

Wolf head pendant mark 3

My latest revised version of the wolf totem pendant, carved from cherry.

Raining Cats and Dogs

A quick mock up to amuse myself, images from google searches.

Big Knit braiding stool and needles

Made these recently for a friend. I haven't seen many in my googling so there might be a market for them in the wider community of big Knitters.

First sale of the new year

Big thanks to Vanilla The Home And Gift Store (Formby and Ormskirk)for taking on some of my cutting boards.

Chunky oak are selling well.
