Folksy Friday

Having spent a few days locked in an old married couple style argument with our wood lathe, I finally have to admit that I'm not very good at it. I could earn a pretty decent living making hamster bedding, but that's about the height of it I'm afraid.

I could sit here and grumble into my coffee cup at how other people seem to be able to throw hunks of wood into what is basically the biggest and scariest pencil sharpener in the world ever and produce beautiful things, but instead I thought I could just sit back, enjoy my coffee and admire the beauty.


Turned Wood Art Bowl - Lynwood Designs in Wood


Beech Hollow Form - From the Tree


Dip Pen in Kou Wood - Artisan Curiosities


Lily Bowl - Eastfield Woodturning


Ripples - Treecycle


Wedding Goblets - Bodrighy

Now if you could all just pop out to the pet shop this weekend and pick up a hamster or two, I'll be eternally grateful. Great, ta, thanks:)

Even though it is now Saturday and not Friday, I had connection problems yesterday, everything was playing silly buggers and nothing would work so I sent the pc to bed early without 240.
