Two front cover's in as many months!!

Hello folks

I am very proud to show these two magazine front cover's- the first is the u.k woodturning magazine published by GMC and next is the U.S woodturning design magazine published by All American crafts

Off to the woods ..to get some wood!!!

Hello folks

Today I've been to one of my local tree surgeon friends to collect some more logs- I really enjoy doing this as I never know what I might find. His log pile is on the edge of a 100 acre wood he helps to manage, the logs are stored on the edge of a farm track in deep shade so stay wet longer and don't tend to suffer with too many surface cracks caused by direct sunlight.Today I collected around a 1/2 tonne of pippy burr oak- this oak is lovely as it has a slight pink hue to it and has lots of movement as it dries.

 This is how I store the logs- covered in old sheets and out of the direct sunlight
