Look at these beauties! We had a question - could a beginner make a star trivet? The answer is below - lovely tight joints, beautifully finished off - well done Adrienne!

Mary finished this beautifully carved bar stool.

Frances replaced a broken leg on her coffee table - including selecting and shaping the timber, making all the mortise and tenon joints, and finishing it off to match the existing colour. I bet you can’t tell which one leg was the replacement!

Some more lovely projects finished!  Well done Shirali, Adrienne, Prachi, Claire and James!
