Carved Phone Stand

 Sometimes I just make something because I think it's a good idea. Or in this case because my daughter thought it would be a good idea. 



Made these simple phone stands with my scout a few weeks back and decided it would make a great magazine article. So set to making one last week. Didn't take long, although it does have a bit of short grain so there is a need to be careful. 


Full set by step should be in woodcarving magazine soon. 

I have a feeling my daughter might take this one from me!

A Little Taste of Spring

 The world is going to pot again, I always try to stay abreast of current affairs but really I'd prefer not to at the moment. At least I have nature and and family around me. It was a good weekend. Yesterday meeting up with my sister and her family, with swimming and baking.

And today spent outside, I pruned my apple trees, sorted out lots of little jobs. Both the girls came out to help in the garden without being asked. 

The newest batch of chickens have never looked healthier. These hybrids are always the friendliest chickens on earth. Honestly can't get away from theses at times, keep finding them in my workshop if I leave the door open! 

I'm looking forward to a bit better weather in March, can't wait to get my hands into the dirt again.
