A wooden spoon Why thank you. I spent about an hour and a half on it today and have it roughed out to it's basic shape all done with my axe and bill hook. The fiddly bit comes next refining it into the finished article, carving, then sanding and oiling. This is what it looks like now and I will pos...

I'm thinking a knife block. If wrong, hurry up and tell us! Sorry it's not a knife block. This picture of it on it's side should give the game away. Up to this point there is about 15 minutes work gone into it. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ic_AV7r4kOnmQ-Tirnyd-TK6bJUm9GbeaNxJaNiwMw=w811-h608-n...

You may have seen my jam and chutney making exploits but I'd had enough domesticity and decided I would do some thing more manly Here's the start, a log freshly cut from my garden. A...

As the last few days have been non gardening weather I knocked up another batch of marrow chutney but this time I decided to add some dried crushed chilli to the mix to spice things up. I've also acquired some plums from a nearby wild tree and am planning to make a batch of marrow & plum chutney...

The weather was beautiful here on Sunday up until lunchtime and then it chucked it down. I did manage to cut all the grass in the morning while it was still dry but was feeling at a bit of a loose end after lunch as it was too wet to do anything in the garden so I decided to turn a couple of pounds ...
