What are you working on?

[bb07]

I've been working off and on for quite some time on this piece of birch, so long in fact that it's completely dried out now and is tough going. I'm not even sure what it is -a dipper of some sort I suppose And hopefully I'll eventually finish it
Anyone else with projects in the works?

Wow - that would be perfect for a canning ladle - or for serving punch if you are posh

Sorry - our stuff is really prosaic right now.

Today involved:

Planting a load of raspberry canes along the new stock fence I put in last week

Planted a couple of 8' tall oak trees to increase our habitat diversity

Started cucumbers, tomatoes and chillis in the propogators

I need to take some time next week and build some heavy duty greenhouse staging, prune the gooseberries into a goblet shape, split last years layers out and peg down this years layers - aiming for 30+ gooseberry bushes in the end.

I have a couple of blackcurrant bushes and a couple of Juneberries to find a home for as well......

Nothing deserving of a photo - all very dull

A shooting stick - a walking stick which turns into a seat. It belonged to this guys father and all the leather had rotted away.

Thats gorgeous! I'd been looking for a tutorial online and not come up with anything.... is this coming straight out of your head via your enviable skills, or is there a linky you might share, BTM?

Looks solid as a rock, and could be used for many tasks. A smooth solid top on it would make for a great reloading table
