    Oh one other thing ratchet straps and ground pins so if it gets windy you can anchor your stall down I had one blow away in the night once , dont worry about asking for logs to be provided most big country est will have their own woodland team and I have found most are ok Cheers Mark

    hi , you defo will need public liability insurance , I W W Wallace is who I use . a market stall gazebo , warning signs rope to rope off your carving area and a tarp for the mess as alot of shows are at country houses oh and of course stock to sell, if you have a box van you could sleep in the back , alot of stall holders do , or a tent or caravan depends on how comfy you want to be and how much fafing around you are up for but one thing be prepared for doing a show and not selling hardly anything you can never tell one show you may take £1500 and the next year the same show it could be £50 but its all advertising , also when talking to show organisers its worth asking if they pay demonstrators as some do or at least a free pitch I think woodfest is in your part of the world , good luck cheers Mark

    Hi guys thanks for your replies , as for price I think spill resistant bar tops , with the stunning colours that it would have would be well worth a few grand , and bathroom sinks , I am sure once it was all set up it would get cheeper, who knows some company that makes resin may have some sort of deal , so I will just start gathering the kit I will need and see where it goes if anybody has a vacume pump, bag they dont want any more and if any of you want to get involved in having a go please do give me a shuot will keep you informed of my progress Thanks Mark

    Nice ash boards, I have some large ash to mill as soon as I can get on the land where it is , so bloody muddy, but one thing I am sure that there was a thread about drying sycamore standing upright to avoid staning ,, might be worth a look Cheers Mark

    Hi guys thannks for your nice comments, and no Rover not worried about it droping its having a wheel as the lady its for is in her 80,s and Mr Twig bone oak is cool and like you said hard wearing Cheers Mark
  15. gobbypunk
    Finished this one a few weeks ago but haven't got round to taking any pics til now - this was made from pieces of oak left over from my mates swing mill; took a bit of working out for jointing the corners, which are pegged with yew for the colour contrast. This one's up for sale now for £600. It's free-standing or can be leant against the wall.

    Our latest creation at Twisted Oak - our company name was really appropriate for this job! Finding enough bone oak and getting all the pieces to fit right with each other took some doing - proper krypton factor! Next bit of fun will be hanging them but looking forward to seeing them in place at their new home.
