Hi all, well, I got over the disappointment of going straight through the bottom of the little oak bowl and thought it best to 'jump straight back on the horse'!
We've got all sorts of lumps of wood lying around from various tree-trimmings that have been done over the years with most of the wood left in piles to season before burning. Most of it will be oak, beech, sycamore, field maple or ash. So I thought I'd have a rootle around and see what there was I could turn into shavings.
Came up with this which I was quite please with.....I know it's not oak and am pretty sure it's not ash.....
and in the same wood...I think....
and this, quite different......could it be sycamore?
Comments / crits on all very welcome.....skin is thick and I'm eager to learn![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
