Thanks Its alder. I had planned to use wood I'd cut myself or salvaged but I'm too impatient to season it!!! I ordered a box of bowl blanks, mostly alder some sycamore and one lime. It came to £20 delivered with eleven blanks 4" which seemed reasonable to get me started.

My first serious attempt at a bowl. I need to learn how to sharpen my tools better. Still, I learnt alot and had fun doing it.

I use map my walk. It tracks accurately enough and shows you distance, elevation, pace/elevation aswell as an estimate of calories. I've also been looking for a way to pinpoint features in woodland and fields so will give the other app a try thanks.

I've seen it before on birch stumps. I think the sap is very sugary (birch wine is on my list of things to make) so always assumed it was a good food source for moulds.

I worked with a seventeen year old lad who used to get caught sneaking out of a hedge when someone walked into a field, still sorting out his trousers with a sheepish look. The strangest time was when the old live in security guard caught him one night pleasuring himself on top of the muck heap!!!

....and occupying a table that a more lucrative customer could be using. If that's all she ordered the price is fair, as an addition to an order it probably is steep.

Definately the best. I must have watched it ten or more times, normally to a cry of "Urgh not this one again!!!!".

Lucky anyone found him with that cammo paint job

If it has the Queen's head on its mine. My most interesting find. Makes a nice paperweight.

Pissed and ate firelighters with salsa?

Could you name the apps please. I'd like to do some mapping but struggled to find a good/free one. Thanks

My girlfriend and I do this fortnightly, start off with a mince base cram it with peppers tomatoes then split and turn it into chilli and bolegnase. Saves having to cook (and wash up everything) everynight. Defrosts easily and freely on the woodburner. Also I make a great curry all by myself

Whos trees were they?

I use up to half inch dia at home to bulk up the wood pile. Its a bit of faff to do (keep saying ill make pimps for personal use but thats even more faff) but if its seasoned its good kindling and chuck a handfull on in between logs.

Sodding mice have chewed the filler cap to get to Bio Oil, luckily it doesn't leak yet. Off to the dealer I go.
