This week I finished a segmented vase that took many hours of work. It’s made up of 13 separate rings, each consisting of 16 segments. The most challenging part was the top feature ring. I spent a long time planning and making test pieces to achieve the leaf effect.

Eggiscopes for Easter. These are a kaleidoscope and kids love them. They are made out of Ash and have been painted using Jo Sonja Iridescent Paints.

I made my son a guitar amp stand out of European Oak and think it looks good in his home office.

Give me a shout if you fancy one.

I changed the brass wire mesh on the doors for rattan and feel it looks a lot better. I love the soft close lid. Let me know what you think.

Merry early Christmas to me.
I’ve just treated myself to this ELO ‘Discovery’ album from eBay and are blown away at the quality of it. The album cover, sleeve and poster are in immaculate condition and there are no marks on the vinyl. It plays perfect.

Mine looks good on my dressing room wall.

In the garage cutting and clamping the last panel panel for my music console. I’m up to my favourite part now (not) and sanding from 80 grit to 240 grit. A bit over the top but the finished article is for me.
It is made out of European white oak.
You can never have enough clamps 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been to the Harrogate Woodworking Show and was disappointed this year with the exhibitors available. It seems like even the bigger companies have taken up smaller stands this year.
I did see this carving from the Cleveland Wood Carving Club.

A segmented bowl.
