Fantastic stuff Patrick!!!
Really is inspiring work!
Not shown here but some of your other projects like the hook case are finished with wood oil but what else do you do when decorating your work to get the lovely finish! is it bark of some type glued on perhaps?

Bloody show off if you ask me! 
Very nice work Patrick. I'm just jealous of your craft abilities really.
My bark pots never come out looking that precise!

The photo doesn't do the workmanship justice. I've seen them up close and they are beautifully made, the craftsmanship is superb. I have several pieces of Patrick's work and I use them all. Practical and hard working, they are a pleasure to use; truly craft. :notworthy
Biggest problem I find with folk is that they underestimate the amount of time it takes to make something well by hand. Patience is a very great gift and as much a necessity as skill, or a eye for detail for beauty of form and shape. When you find them together the results are very special.
Anyone who makes things by hand knows that there are hours, and hours, of work in those items in the photo.
cheers,
Toddy

Patrick, at some time I am going to have to look at your work in person. I admire the pictures I would just like to get a hands on
Great stuff there Patrick! Nice work indeed. I like everything in that photo!
Wasnt the hook case one of my little crafts? If it is the one you are thinking of, it's a honor to think that you thought my work was Particks!

Yeah that's the one shona. Cheers!
As far I understand some willow bark is bound around it and wood oil added but if as you say the dark part is burned on, I would love to know exactly how this is done.
great stuff. looks grea, its something i will have to have a go at soon. especially the bark containers
Thanks for the kind words folks. Spoonman the effect is created by burning the wood with a red hot nail.
