Hi guys, I have recently started filming and writing a blog (though the writing bit takes an awful lot of time so its slow!) the videos seem to be quite popular, Despite the issues ive had starting out (making the odd mistake on camera, getting used to framing etc) I do however seem to have...

thanks guys i will try both. unfortunatley the only wood i currently have access to is seasoned. but I'll go and have a look for some green wood to practice on - im using the cherry wood as i REALLY like the colour its coms out as when its finished
