Birthday earrings and preparing wood

Just a tiny post on a couple of small tasks I did during the week.

First was to make Fiona a set of up cycled aluminium earrings for her birthday - well two pair - we all need a choice.

And I have been ripping more wood on the band saw again  - preparation for making a few cheese boards out of salvaged Hairy Oak for and artist friend.

I thought cutting the timber would give it a few weeks to dry out; including the glue I need to put into cracks to stop the timber from breaking.

  2. Fiona's earrings look great! And that Hairy Oak is absolutely beautiful. It will make sumptuous cheese boards.

  3. Hi C and P - so long ago since you left your comments which are appreciated - as you might know we are on the road around the islands of Scotland - sometimes it makes it a bit hard to do blog posts or respond to comments. Posts will just be aspects of what we see - no anility to create. Go well. B
