Well, this is what I came up with for my piece of driftwood. The trouble with bringing it into the house to photograph is, Mrs PFW won’t let it leave. I’m not sure this is the right way to run a business.

Sorry for the manky thumbnail, still recovering from loosing it six months ago to the lathe.

Found a bit of driftwood on the beach. Made it round to see what it would look like. Is it elm? Now, what to do with it?

Well, that was the day that was. My first craft fair. Met lots of lovely people, sold some things, ate some cake and throughly enjoyed myself.

Well, today’s the day! Van loaded and ready to head to Saltburn to sell my wares. If you want a solid oak door stop or a weird rope / branch light come by and say hello.

If you don’t love medullary rays in oak, I don’t think we can be friends.
