some of the latest work, my fave is the olive ash candle stick at the end but hard to not love the live edged ash bowl with an olive base too.:001_smile:

 

Met another woodworker today after being approached as a milling job, guy turned out to be a total wood nut too, gonna be some really interesting projects in th pipeline. Woodworkers are a different kettle to arbs, you think you know people who love wood, then you meet woodies!:lol:

Thats some really artistic pieces. I am the other way round myself, as a turner I appreciate just what some "arbs" chip and chuck, so if any of you guys local to the Broads want to supply me some decent wood drop me a pm, never seem to be able to get the good stuff befor its kindling!!
