Colchester

Had a great weekend in Colchester teaching the Volunteers at Highwoods Country Park about the pole lathe and spoon carving.




Dibbers are always a good bet for learning the basics of spindle turning plus it's good fun burning in the lines with a bit of wire.

Vic.


Jackie with an almost identical twin to the one I made last year - good to see it's been well used !


And of course the blog doesn't seem complete without a mention of the Young Monsieur and the Old Monsieur . . .

My Dad finally made it home on Friday after his 40-odd day sojourn in the Wilderness of Ashford Hospital . . .

& Jed got a lot of attention and really enjoyed himself (still sick on journeys though).

Jed's new best friend, Louise.
