Ran out of bread today and I could have been lazy like usual and gone out and bought some bland loaf from tesco's or the like. Instead I spent a few hours this evening after the kids went off to bed and made 3 cool looking/smelling loaves. Still up now waiting for the last one but well worth it. Anyone else saving pennies and making their own bread?

A bow blade, been a thread on this a while back. Here's a link to some info on them from another forum bow bar - chainsaw attachment - by HokieMojo @ LumberJocks.com ~ woodworking community

That would look great that size but no way would it fit in the microwave! Drill a hole in each corner of photo/picture void and jigsaw or coping saw it out. Router a step around void on rear side to accommodate pic,glass and backing board. What about saving that one for next Christmas and try to get hold of an offcut from a kiln dried board for this year. Do you know any one who mills nearby?

How big is it? Are you planning to do a normal frame from it ? ie four lengths mitred together or keep it as a solid block and remove the centre to house the picture? It would dry quicker if you get it close to the finished article first imo.
-
I'd have to agree with arbmark, but if the frame is small enough to squeeze into your microwave you might still get it done for chrimbo. There's a recent thread on here about force drying in the microwave.

The owl's a beauty mate:thumbup: Where's that at?

Steve is the fee upfront? What about charging the fee on result of each sale. That way it's free to advertise (with pics being compulsory) but if you sell and that's the idea:001_rolleyes: you pay the fee. Just a thought Si

Sounds great, get some pics uploaded when they're all done please:001_smile: Love this kind of stuff.

Nice and tidy joins:thumbup: Will you be back to see the finished piece?

Cracking shot,and great find. I'll have it as a reference shot if that's ok:biggrin:

I can't work out how to link another thread to this but there's some invaluable info on "monthly arb contest" thread about half way down the latest carving page. Some great insights from Tommy treecarver.

Hi all, I've been propositioned to make some rustic bread boards for my local artisan baker, which could be sold on from the shop for Christmas. In return for my efforts I'll get a regular supply of free breads. I was thinking of some boards wide enough to rip down the middle so that 1 of the 4 edges is waney. The baker would like something with a bit of character to the grain also. Well to get to the point, I'll need seasoned boards about 1" thick I guess and maybe 18" plus wide. Is there anyone fairly local to me on here who has something to fit the bill? Thanks in advance, Si

The priest is lovely mate, and your owls are definitely evolving:thumbup1: What are you doing for the eyes? Eyes can be tricky, a way around them and something I often do myself is to carve them asleep.

Little workout on the hand tools is better than the gym any day:thumbup1:

If you have photoshop you can always create a soft blur around the object in focus. There's lots of 'walk throughs' to help you, just do a google search.
