I may have to start a new thread, FAECES IN TREES! Just taken my girls on a bike ride down the lane and saw this:mad1:
-
Ah I see. Wish I'd bought more when I had the chance, they were certainly a good price. Are you going to have a go at a bowl or cup next? These three are from beech logs, inspired by fungal cups.

I bought my last carving knife from this place, knives are Frosts of Sweden Wilderness 1-2-1*::*Cutting Tools & Sharpening*::*Carving Knives Carving knives going for £10.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think they normally sell for £25 plus. Currently unavailable but may re-stock if they get some potential orders. The knife I used on the pendants was probably the Carving Knife - Frosts 120 or something similar. Will try and get some pics up tomorrow:thumbup1:

Hmmmm just noticed they are currently unavailable Still could be worth an email, they may re stock if they get some interest:thumbup1:

They look familiar mate, are they Mora's? Found a supplier about a year ago that was well under the average sale price. I'll try and find it, if I do I'll post the website on here.

Cost of running a wood burner
wisewood replied to wisewood's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Thanks everyone I'll pass on your wisdom, I fear she will feel deflated and give in to the big energy providers. I suggested she get herself a chainsaw and take advantage of a subsidised course but going by the bunny caught in headlights look she gave me I don't think that would ever happen. -
Ouch!!!!!!!! One of my hook knives is double edged, am thinking of grinding it down to a single, much safer.

Great first attempt mate:001_smile: Incidentally, smaller versions of the first couple of pics make great carving mallets. Dead easy to make and when they break, just chuck 'em on the fire:thumbup:

Hi, my neighbours daughter has bought her first house and is looking at alternatives to gas central heating. Could anyone please give an estimate of the cost of running a wood burner? Likely price per m3? How many deliveries of above per year on average? Thanks in advance, Simon

Just got back from the hols in southern Ireland and got some great tree pics. First three from JFK arboretum -first one an owl and lastly a sloth maybe. Apologies for pic quality, camera phone and facing the sun. Last two from Johnstown castle.:001_smile: An amazing place:thumbup:
-
Thanks:biggrin: Yes, I don't make them very often these days but I do sell. I've a couple left or could do commission to suit. Just got back from hols in Ireland so will put up tool pics in the next few days:thumbup1: I'll pm price too when I've got myself sorted. Simon

ok, here's my first two attempts.

I can't find the thread but Rob D discusses ways to stabilise large rings for making table tops. I know you're working on a much smaller scale but the theory should be the same. Basically ratchet strap the discs around the circumference to prevent splitting and also glue ply underneath to stabilise splits and warps. Having said all of that, if you've got a load of seasoned logs cracking would be minimal anyway. A nice radial arm saw would give a nice clean face and make life easier too.

On average critters are a touch over an inch. Last two birds were about 2 inch including posts.

Hi David, thanks:001_smile: I've a few mora knives,not sure what make the carving knife is that I used for these. I would check for you but I seem to have misplaced it:mad1: blades long & thin about 4" Done with a combination of whittling and carving with small set of palms. Here's a couple more. Most were done in pear, the owl was in holly btw.
