After a morning eyeing up unseasoned timber I thought I'd better sort out some of the dry stock too. Otherwise I'll soon be running out of garden space to store it 馃槵 Here be air dried ash, yew, cherry, birch, black locust, elm and sycamore, all heading off to a wood shop in Abingdon. . . . . . #airdried #liveedgeslabs #waneyedgetimber #naturaledgetimber #nativetimber #locallysourced #chilternstimber #loveyew #englishelm #coatrack #coffeetable #servingboard #tablerunner #woodenchoppingboard #whatwilltheybecome #oxfordwoodrecycling https://www.instagram.com/p/CMczcOcjxwE/?igshid=1cvt0bfvp18v6

I went out hunting for some butts of Sycamore, and ended up being wooed by this stonking trunk of Ash! Now I'm waiting to find out the cost of the log/milling the way I'm hoping for, and then we'll see if the rippled grain is more than skin deep 馃攷 . . . . . #easilypleased #loveash #lovewood #localprovenance #locallysourced #englishash #nativetimber #bigbutt #ashbutt #nettlebedsawmill #sawmill #planningahead #planningforthefuture #airdriedtimber #amazingmachine #timberaddict #thepowerofhydraulics https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcTtHejhlL/?igshid=1kil4a4uiasyu

In the workshop this weekend I had the challenge of helping @corinnabage to create a curious musical instrument, a variation on the water-phone, this will be a water-harp! I'm not quite sure what it is going to sound like, but I've had a lot of fun dreaming up and then making the odd custom component. We're now waiting on tuning pegs before the final fettling can commence 馃槂 . . . . . #woodturning #woodturnersofinstagram #custommade #customcomponents #musicalinstrument #waterphone #waterharp #creativechallenge #creativeprocess #workshopfun #workshoplife #goodturning #goodwithwood #goodthingscometothosewhowait #learningcurve #learningbydoing #lovemylathe #partoftheprocess https://www.instagram.com/p/CMb9P65D2BH/?igshid=1tzbtxmw9tlds

The dawn chorus caught my ear this morning, then I was too busy to post it...

Back to some more 'normal' activity today, with a trip down to Wiltshire on the hunt for ash boards for a customer. Whilst there I fell for a bundle of firewood off-cuts that should help make sure I'm kept warm till the end of this firewood season. . . . . . #hardwoodtimbersupplies #nativetimber #tylerhardwoods #firewood #hardwoodoffcuts #keepwarmthiswinter #englishash #adayinthecountryside #wiltshire #backtowork #backtoreality #lovemyvan #firewoodaddict #kilndried #makitatools https://www.instagram.com/p/CLVI8GLjvZk/?igshid=1h6gak8xvc8li

Chopping garden branches for firewood and this stunning yellow wood was exposed. These are trunks of Berberis darwinii (Darwin's barberry), an introduced garden shrub native to Chile and Argentina.

This morning I had an opportunity to scare myself whilst skating. I certainly wouldn't try this on a pond further away from home. . . . . . #winterwonderland #winterwalks #gardenpond #gardenicerink #takecareofyourself #miniadventure #iceskating #iskate https://www.instagram.com/p/CLOc-ZEDz-T/?igshid=1f90i7dz74br6

This mix of materials may not appeal to everyone, but I always like finding uses for coracle fabric off-cuts. Just got to tidy up the tops of the legs, do a quick sand and oil, and then it'll be finished 馃槉 . . . . . #oakstool #localprovenance #makinguseofwaste #longtimeinthemaking #lockdownproject #pvcfabric #specialstool #eveningsentertainment #comfyseat #woodturning #polelathe #justneedsoil #greenwoodworking #greenwoodcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CKemEs2jxuv/?igshid=13rzsgwrmkv08
