Baggy

I should have said that I can collect in an estate care, Suburu Legacy.

Hiya Us axe and knife carvers love fresh felled birch and fruit woods, as do pole lathe turners. The problem is getting a steady supply as once the wood is a few months old it is to dry to carve. For us carvers some crooks are very welcome....

Hi all I have run out of carving wood but I am hoping that yesterdays wind means that there is some very green birch about? Does anyone have any? I am in Bicknacre, near Danbury, near Chelmsford. I carve this sort of thing, with axe and knife.

As usual very nice

That is quality work, with beautiful wood.

Thanks :-) The shape will change as the wood seasons, but I like that :-)

I love those, the hint of colour really works. How long are they?

Hi Geoff Blimey, that is very kind buddy, thanks. I wil get back to you when I have spoken to Tony.

Ta muchly Difficult to say how long as I did bits over a week, a good few hours though

Hi all A kind arborist from this parish gave me a yew branch, I also have a tiddly Nic Westerman blade so here they are together.... I love yew.... shame there is never much about.

inchess should be inches......... doh

La la la la la la.... can't hear you..... la la la

Don't mention scorps, I managed to leave it of my "must have" list.... so far But as you have mentioned it, how is it in use?

Hiya I have a load of Nics blades; A drawknife, 30mm clip point, Twca Cam, a left and right handed spoon knives, and a 70mm carver. They are all a joy to use, hold their edge well and all very, very sharp. On my wants list is Nics axe and adze, a roughing out spoon blade, a 100mm carver and now he is making gouges..... Much of what Nic makes is not on his website yet. When Nics blades arrive they are super sharp and I have started using his sharpening material as it is the best way to sharpen the blades. Although they stay sharp with just stropping for ages. Sharpening - Nic Westermann

Green birch is a joy to use IMHO
