Head on down to Dunkeld for Santa Day!

This one took some doing!

I was approached to make a new entrance sign for an independent living complex, they wanted "Classy, elegant and stylish". I decided on an Ash board, with a Walnut border for a nice contrast.

I knew free handing this carving would be very tricky so opted to have some templates 3D printed. This also meant having to spend £40 on a single router bit (bananas for scale!)

After my biggest ever panel glue up (2 meters by 450mm!) I was ready to carve. I spent more time measuring and marking out where each letter needed to go than actually carving, as one slip up with the Kerning (a new word I learned) would ruin the look of the entire piece. A link of paint to make the letters stand out and a good sand later and it was nearly ready.

After that it was 3 coats of finish and prepping the posts with a Walnut stain and mortices to accept the panel. I did a dry fit of the whole sign and could barely move in my workshop!

Fitting day was on one of the hottest days of the year, and digging 3 foot holes was not much fun!

After lifting it into place (with great difficulty by myself) I stood back to admire my work in the sunshine.

What. A. Beauty. Couldn't be happier with it.

Keep an eye out if you're heading towards Blairgowrie on the Coupar Angus Road 😁

The latest idea I've had is finally in clamps glueing up.

As Scotland is known worldwide for its amazing landscape views, I thought why not capture one in a chopping board?

I had some templates made up from a photo I'd taken and after some fettling and adjustments, they were perfect.

The question is, can you name that view? Or the hill? (You get zero points if I've already shown you!)

More to come if this one goes well!

This stunning Mappa Burr clock set in a whisky barrel hoop is all finished and looking amazing!

Measuring about 60cm across with a high torque movement, this would be a lovely time piece for any room and a great talking point.

It'll be going up for sale on the website tonight or you can get in touch through messenger!

It's not all beautiful boards and fancy creations for me!

After a series of unfortunate events this customer had to kick and chop her way back in so needed a new door.

Just needs a lick of paint and you'd never know!
