pics of my last carving on a lump of six hundred year old Oak.Rescued by my brother from a collapsed house mentioned in the dombesday book.It took me between new year and the 1`st of march to complete and stands at about 3 and a 1/2 feet tall.I have put it on here already but wanted it on thi side so it will enlarge to view.Not the best photos I'm afraid but they will do for now.

At last the chair is all but finished.After a twelve hour shift in the shed today.Got in their at nine after dropping Albert to school and besides a couple of meal and tea breaks stuck at it until 9 tonight.I am really pleased with the end result and after a couple of very small finishing touches tomorrow I will photograph it and put it on here.

Its great to be back to work and with a couple of craft fairs coming up I am inspired to make as much as possible between now and the summer.Hopefully the lathe will help to create a number of smaller items and a couple more chairs are likely,in an ideal world the chance to do another carving as well in between jobs would be great.
