Oak bowl from Hereford wood. I saw this log in a layback and had it away, as I pulled away my tire popped. Worth it though. #woodturning #oak #hereford #berkhamsted (at Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn4awtXgQEA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nejmws2qr9iu

Spalted silver birch vase. I like spalting, not always for the look of it or what it does to the wood, but the fact that there is this epic battle going on inside this wood. It’s the Star Wars of internal wood breakdown. #spalting #silverbirch #woodturning #curves #hertfordshire #hertswood #berkhamsted #localwoodturner #localart #utilitarian #localcraftsman #berkhamstedwoodturner #woodworker #craftsman #craftperson #makersgonnamake #interiordesign #decor #design #lines #form #shape #flow #homeware #contemporary #keepitsimple #style #modern #wood #art #madebyhand #homemade #artisan #craft #home (at Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJqBQkAzV8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6e8xwd55tz0c

Pleasure to send this rowan spoon out to a brand new baby Rowan in Cornwall. This is carved from wood on my recent Scotland trip where the rowan is by far the stand out tree in the uplands at this time of year. May baby rowan grow strong and proud just like his namesake.

A walk in the Arrochar alps and a piece of Scottish rowan equals a fun day. #rowan #hiking #spooncarving #makersgonnamake #scotland (at Arrochar, Argyll and Bute)

This has come all the way to Scotland with me to find its new home with my friends from Wales.
