Nice one, bet he loved it.

Looks really nice. The runes spell 'Albert' :)

Looking at it, it doesn't have any seams and appears to be hammered out of a single piece. Interesting about the indentations, that makes sense, thank you! Anyway, I've sent it off to a tinning company to ask for their advice. I'm not planning to sautee, just re-heat.

Thanks for the replies - I'm getting it re-tinned and then off to the woods with it.

It certainly does have character! I'll look into the re-tinning and check out the prices.

A bit late to this, but I love sausages and had to say something! My favourite is the 'Toulouse style' with garlic, red wine and herbs in it - lovely in a stew with vegetables and lentils or beans. We've been moaning about the sausages available for so many years that we started making our...

Thanks all! :)

Hello all, I'm from west Oxfordshire. Spend most of my days working in gardens - woodland in winter. Interested in plants, wildlife, tools and practical skills of all sorts. Looking forward to learning more here. Being a magnet for biting insects, I was drawn to register after coming across...
