  1. i would agree with Mr Humphries here
  2. thats a nice piece, in Bulgaria they have a variety of ash as street trees tha are grafted, the graft becomes very pronounced and im hoping one day a large live edged vase. this one will be right up your street!
  3. yep thats why we must enjoy and be thankful for every one of these such moments, they are fleeting and brief, but isnt that one of the things that make them special, each one a blessing, a gift for the feeding of souls.
  4. I got me a new patch! Soil and climate to die for! watch this space!
  5. not sad at all, in fact i found the journey rather rewarding and challenging And if you look a little youll find your in rather good company:biggrin:
  6. like that a lot. cant beat a bit of creative playing with wood, therapy
  7. Im looking forward to playing with modifications to the winching side of it all when i have time and settled in the farm. Winching the 88 along with 60 inch rails and a 64 inch gb bar sure saves a lot of grunting!
  8. The legs are by a very good fabricator/wrought iron guy i found, will dig out his details when i have a minute. Were packing at the moment and its manic! thanks, the client was ecstatic, the photo doesnt do it any justice at all but will add some much better ones as soon as were settled in the farm.
  9. honey is ubiquitous, wether there is a food source or not (within range) No orchards required whatsoever i would look for exudates before disrupting bark
  10. if there is any burrs as is often the case on H chestnut i would take it all:001_cool:
  11. not the best image of it but sent this one pout today, was sorry to see it go to be honest, but then me and the mrs get attached to everything i make!
  12. I took a gamble and roughed out some 18-19 inch Macrocarpa bowls today, pleasant surprise, wont overlook it again!
  13. lets get bidding! get some more photos up
  14. i would have bought bowl sized lumps off you!
  15. I know the feeling! Brought home a whopping lump of macrocarpa tonight after a gruelling day but wasnt gonna leave it to dry and crack so rough turned and oiled it up to get it stable. Its now 7.30pm! its like therapy:011:
  16. I mean ive been waiting to get my hands on a Catalpa for eons, because it is a fine fine wood:001_huh:
  17. nice simple forms, simple always works
