In amongst all the other stuff going on just at the moment, I've sort of accidentally bought a piece of woodland. As you do. Not much to look at yet, and I'm limited to what I can do as it's protected, but hopefully in the next few months (and if I'm honest years) I can get in there and get rid of some of the non native scrub and open it up a little bit. But first to get the dangerous trees sorted out. I'm sure there'll be plenty more on this going forward. 🌳🌲🌴

Got given some small offcuts of Oak boards from a friends building project, so finally got to try some little bowls out of 'proper' wood. I like these a lot, they're very sweet.

Also tried gluing some offcuts of hardwood ply together the see how they 'turned' out. Quite a few voids that needed filling, but I don't think the look too bad. The finish on this is oil for a deeper shine, the last sleeper bowl was waxed.

Not wanting to waste 'proper' wood while still practicing, the first few bits I turned on the lathe were made from scrap wood, like this bowl made from an offcut of softwood sleeper. Not going to win any prizes, but any practice is good practice.

Satisfying little clips of de-masking the wardrobe doors. Obviously I didn't do the first one right, as Milo had to supervise the second one! And I had to do this in the house as it was too cold in the workshop at the time for the paint to dry! 🌈🖌🥶

I really enjoyed the small scale turning I did in the year before, so with the bedroom done I invested in a full size Axminster lathe. Expect to see lots more turned things in the next few weeks!

As well as the funky drawer fronts for the bedroom, I also did some funky wardrobe doors in a similar style. The big doors are sliders, hence no handles. Notice Milo heling out in the last picture.

I haven't posted much lately (in fact not at all last year) as there has been an lot going on, more on that later. So I'm going to try and catch you up on some things over the next little while, starting with the last few bits for that bedroom remodel. First up this waterfall resin river table. I know, river tables are not cool anymore, but I've never done one and wanted to try it. Turned out really well, and I love the metallic orange pigment.
