My drum sander makes short work of processing a big batch of chopping boards. Currently going through at 180grit prior to hand sanding the edges and getting a splash of oil to finish. #choppingboard #handmade #workshoplife #nativetimber #oak #ash #hardwood #growninbritain #sandingwood #localcraft #buylocal #quartersawnoak https://www.instagram.com/p/BqpTUBrgM76/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c08uvgygwieo

Not having any wood in stick at the moment I decided to take advantage of some yew and cherry logs I found recently at my local sawmill. Now milled I shall be stacking then up tomorrow for the start of an 18 month seasoning cycle. All grown in the Chiltern Hills, the yew is from Hughenden Manor and the cherry has come from Wendover. #localtimber #growninbritain #nativetimber #hardwood #sawmill #chilternhills #wood #woodworking #airdried #qualitytakestime #nettlebedsawmill #woodworksandcoracles https://www.instagram.com/p/BpxMxWKgKBQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9v8yp2krajh6

For this weekend's #coraclemaking #course I'm expecting four pairs of budding #boat builders. #teamwork usually makes the build go quicker so hopefully we will have time to go out for a paddle before the end of the class. #traditionalcrafts #handmade #localcraft #ash #greenwoodworking #growninbritain #coracle #lovewood

Today I have been begun the process of turning a pile of planks into a pile of plates... . . . . . #workshoplife #partoftheprocess #woodturningblanks #woodturning #woodware #tableware #woodentableware #woodenplate #bowlturner #lovemyworkshop #lovemywork #wivamac #ash #sycamore #growninbritain #sustainableliving #traditionalcrafts #designedforlife #campinglife #rustichomewares #biodegradable https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3RrA5DxoV/?igshid=1qmiuf0hte93r

Some lovely person has ordered a dozen of my 10" plates from @objectsofuse , so I've spent a gentle day turning a few, using English Ash. . . . . . #woodturning #woodturnersofinstagram #tableware #woodware #handmade #bowlturner #englishash #growninbritain #newplates https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjpuG_Dgsh/?igshid=1mlaobus7ngda

Yesterday I resumed my wood gathering ways with this van load of gorgeous sycamore, oak, wild service tree, elm, sweet chestnut and walnut. Over the next few days I'll be sanding or planing off the dust and dirt, to reveal oodles of stunning grain and figuring that's sitting just below the surface. . . . . . #naturalbeauty #nativetimber #growninbritain #seasonedtimber #elm #quartersawnoak #sycamore #sweetchestnut #englishwalnut #wildservicetree #naturaledgefurniture #waneyedgetable #liveedgewood https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlGGpvjEFX/?igshid=d72pnpzefqqr

This being the season when many folks start sowing I've today been making some of last year's coracle lath off-cuts into garden plant labels. Approx 300mm long x 35mm wide these smoothed strips of ash can be easily written on with chalk, canyon, pencil, paint or permanent marker, and if you put oil or varnish on afterwards they could be used for the same crop over multiple seasons. For the longest lifespan they're best taken out of the ground when the crop is lifted, cleaned of mud and stored in the dry until next you need them. Most of my stock goes to @oxfordwoodrecycling, where a bundle of 5 costs £3.50. . . . . . #madefromwaste #coraclelaths #ashlaths #reclaimedwood #growninthechilterns #growninbritain #ash #vegpatch #allotmentaccessories #growyourownfood #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AT18qjFDE/?igshid=rv6z9z2u7btq

Time for a new table anyone? These sizable Sequoia slabs are approx 7' long x 4' wide, so could make a stunning centerpiece for the right environment. By comparison the rest of my new slabs look like trifling matters, but judged on their own merits there are still plenty of stunning specimens. I can't wait to see how they all clean up tomorrow! . . . . . #seasonedtimber #newwood #naturalbeauty #growninbritain #hardwoodtimbersupplies #whatwilltheybecome #cherrynice #loveyew #ashyoulikeit #londonplane #walnut #brownoak https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ezYMljnXj/?igshid=1p34pgq9cegks

Twas a fair bit to unload today, but just about got it all done before it got too dark to see. I shall begin the beautification process on Sunday... . . . . . #seasonedtimber #growninbritain #hardwoodtimbersupplies #woodworking #woodenfurniture #englishash #cherry #cedaroflebanon #characteroak #elm #lovewood https://www.instagram.com/p/B8RqxuogQLR/?igshid=15998px22qjsx

After a day of sawing, planing and sanding I've uncovered some beautiful grain and figuring from this myriad of species, that includes cherry, yew, burr London plane, oak, elm, walnut, ash, wild service tree and burr ripple field maple. Also spent a bit of time helping @emilyruthgroves get set up on the pole lathe to continue making parts for her new shave horse. . . . . . #lovewood #nativetimber #naturalbeauty #growninbritain #whatwilltheybecome #woodworking #greenwoodworking #polelathe #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RV38gggoX/?igshid=h3ns6vhciyr2
