Cute little wooden cup I made yesterday.
You’d have probably drunk out of something like this if you were a Viking or lived around those times. Made in the same way they would’ve made them, on a pole lathe.

Another bowl—this is the last one from the tree we called the ‘Impossible Beech.’
You can see how much they warp as they dry. This one has been oiled with linseed.

A little beech bowl sat in the woods where it grew. Turned on a pole lathe.

Turned out ok i reckon! A bit more carving to do then off to dry for a while. ❤️🌳

Taking this slightly rotten ash tree that fell a year or so ago and making it into a fireside bench. The carving is coloured with milk paint made with charcoal from the fire.

The process of turning a bowl on a pole lathe in my woodland workshop.

Nice to be back on the lathe after a break from turning although I found this one hard work. A familiar shape to kick off 2025.
Back to benches next week but we've had a couple of beech limbs come down in recent storms that are screaming to be bowls.
