Had another day leave today.
Filled it with all sorts of yard jobs, and went to the farm to see if Charlie had some bits of weathered fire wood for me to make stuff from. Followed that with getting the truck out and doing an inspection.......
Came back with a few bits off his firewood pile, and a couple of longer bits of old oak.
My favorite piece once cleaned up was this former top of a gate post.
Not sure if it will become a candle holder, table lamp or possibly a large mantle clock as it is a good 300mm high.
Next up and interesting bit of fire wood. Sanded it and cut the top and bottom so that I could work with it.
Belt sander, hand sanded and then mounted inside this old wooden tray, it will be good as a tealight holder on someone's windowsill or a shelf.
Next up I made Charlie the farmer (remember the combine harvester last year) a doorstop for the farm house.
Handle from some rope I plaited from one piece and thenfed through two sides of the hole I drilled in the lump, and fixed internally in the holes.
I still have some more pieces to process, but need to think of the best stuff to make to maximize the effect of their scars etc.
