fishfish 17 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I find it quite therapeutic to whittle a bit of wood now and again in front of the wood-burner,heres a few bits i did recently: left is an ash ladle from a local downed branch,next is beech from the stourhead estate and finally an unfinished ash serving spoon on the right. a holder for my pipe. and a head for a new walking stick: thanks for looking.
