Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
thanks for the comments guys, only just got in from a days fishing up the lakes.
@DaveBromley - yep Yew is poisonous, but i only use it for decorative pieces, never for stuff im actually going to use for food or drink.
@Woodcutter - i tend to use Tung oil for most of my things, i lurve the smell of it
or raw linseed oil, if the piece is going to be high hand use, ie a touchy feely bit of carving, then i'll use a watered down varnish for protection.
re the WIP requests, i'll see what i can do for you

Very nice that, nice clean lines. I am amazed it didnt split with the center grain right near the top. Bloody good work that.
Once seasoned i would be using it for a tipple.
