What have you learned recently?

[England Ram]

That the Dylon all in one washing machine dye is ideal only for reviving colours, and does not work too great on DPM.

The box and seperate bag of salt on the other hand is designed for changing colours and works a charm.

Oh, and the wonders of silver birch both as a tinder and also as a paper, and as a carving wood. Now my favorite tree.

I learned that the Mora spoon knife (despite what a lot of people say about it) is great for subtle chip carving if you use it "backhand".

I also learned that if a big chunk of birch doesn't want to let you chip carve it in one direction then keep rotating it until it does!
