Hi Matt
How are things going
The craft fair scene at the minute is dire.Sitting around for hours to make £80 is not fun
Have you ever tried using the pour on resin for table top etc,thinking of having a go
Resin is not working well at the minute,its only has a shelf life of 3 months or so
Can't get the stuff to go off properly.dries on top but is still wet where it touches the wood.4 goes on one clock and i'm getting pretty pee'd off
Love the tables you are making.Yew is such a good wood
keep in touch

Hi Forgive my ignorance can anybody tell me what causes this in ash Its not a standard burr and some of the holes are quite deep While I was cleaning it a hornet came out,made me jump out of my skin ,I'm glad it was a bit drowsy.Put it in the wood pile to see if it survives winter This piece is only about 8 ins diameter but some of the others on the same tree are 18ins across many thanks slackbladder:confused1:

Beautiful stuff How did you find working with the resin I like the fact that the wood is still the star of the table well done
