    Nowt Special!

    Wedding pen stand

    Hi Guys, I made a wedding pen stand for my brothers coming wedding in March. It was made from Mahogany, via an old hotel bar from Tenby, South Wales, not far from us. I know this is true, because the original owner lives next door to us and I have his original hotel brochures and a original...

    Naked Yew!

    This bit was already missing some bark, so I took it all off. The natural looked a bit rough so I sanded it following the original contours. 4" x 3" at the highest point.

    I am looking for someone to make some pens for me........

    Hi everyone This may seem a bit of a dumb question to a forum such as this but I find that I am unable to access the sellers market at the moment, and I guess that is because I have just joined. I am looking for someone to make some fountain pens for me with a particular request, in that I...

    brass walking stick handle

    Hi All, I made a friend a walking stick some time ago. It had a brass handle and a brass spigot/joint in the middle of the Oak stick with a rubber cover at the bottom that you took off to show a brass point which was a help in winter weather. I want to make another but I can't find a stockist. I...

    Tea Light Holder

    More of an "upscale" than an out and out "turning" tbh. I am currebtly recycling an old curtain pole into tealight snowmen and wondered what I could do with the old end caps. The finial was removed and the hollow cut for the glass holder, a severe sanding back to remove the horrid original...
