While it was cool enough last night I made a few wine and nibbles boards for today at brixworth cricket ground.

Its a 21x15 board that has a recess to fit a stem glass ideal for parties so you have a free hand for greeting or snacking while on the go.

I lightly sanded the wood before engraving. I then cleaned and sealed the board with a food safe oil.

I have may designs that can be engraved on the board , I also have diffrent clip art that can be used with the words you wish to personalise the board with.

Sorry about the picture I need to make a stand to display these better.

So last night I was out making a few engravings while it was cooler to work in last night. Ready to go for tomorrow

I made a few garden bbq bottle openers wall mountable the woods are a natural uk grown managed wood.

The 1st one is a rustic yew bottle opener. Engraved and oil sealed then the furniture added

The second is red oak and a much finer sand to bring out the grain and finished in oil then the furniture added

I have got a small quantity of these woods to trial and see if there is an intrest in engraved items such as lead hangers. Bottle openers and so on

I hope you like them.
