Small ash burl bowl with milliput filling for the really punky bits. Finished with thinned cellulose sealer, yorkshire grit (regular and microfine) and hampshire sheen wax (original, not the high gloss stuff). Came out nice.
It's not very big (it was only a small blank and burl blanks are unpleasantly expensive), but it's big enough to mount a stuffed fox in

just using up some smaller bits and bobs of wood i have knocking around, to make eggcups. the two at the back are cherry and the wood is a bit bland, two at the front are some sort of sycamore or maple (i arrived on scene after the tree had been chopped down but blagged some of it)

Just started work on a large-ish natural edge bowl from an ash blank I've had lying around for a while. The bark is in great condition on it, but is a bit uninteresting colour wise, compared to if you were doing something similar in, say, yew, so I'm thinking of charring the bark a little. The ash is a nice pale colour, so I think it would make a great contrast. Any thoughts?
I'll post some photos when it's finished .. if I have all my fingers left that is 0 -

Front left definitely looks like fiddleback sycamore.
Nice job.0 -

Nothing fancy, just plain old practical. This woodwork addiction has left me with the dreaded, I want more tools disease , which has resulted in non stop tool purchases for many years
Now I have to find a more permanent home for some, instead of in the house.
So with a few bits of ply hanging around, I knocked up this as a place to keep them safe from harm in my shed:D

Cant understand the 'river' look, think it is the gammiest thing going.
I quite like the early examples when it was all about showing off either a void in the middle of a slab or flipping a slab that has been split down the middle and adding a glass river (or resin in fairness) to keep the slab's live edge in the furniture while still allowing for a practical, rectangular table but then it got fashionable and everyone started trying to out-do each other with less and less attractive rivers.
I think yer man at Manor Wood still has it right, his rivers and floods are all about highlighting the character of the original timber but jeez I can't see me ever searching for a "turquoise epoxy river waterfall table with gold fleck and LED lights" on YouTube!
In total contrast, here's the in-progress coffee table top I'm working on out of that uber punky ash:
At the moment I'm making a mini test stool from the same slab to try epoxy/acetone stabilising (the irony isn't lost on me ) 0 -

What would you do? Do I put it out still? Burn it? Sell it?
:eek: Don't burn it! :eek:
From your thinly veiled criticism of the communal project, it sounds like their planters aren't going to stand the test of time, so I'd be inclined to put yours on hold until those others start looking tatty. Then lead by example and put out your decent quality work to show that you're taking the project seriously!
In the meantime, can you put it in the back garden? Take some time to experiment with various planting compositions, perhaps find an arrangement that is so eye-catching in itself that the common savages don't notice how your woodwork is a different colour to everyone else's?0 -

I've no problem with the project fairplay to them for organising it, it brightens up the place. It's just the timing:rolleyes:CelticRambler wrote: »:eek: Don't burn it! :eek:

I'm gonna put mine out anyway feck it. I'm at the end of the cul-de-sac so mine won't break the line and if not going in the verge it in the centre of the road.0 -
