I shaped it roughly and octagonally for grip. Instagram is a great place for green wood workers, I am currently 'mentoring' three guys on...

    Spoon carving

    Many many thanks both. It is my meditation during this current situation. I am giving them to friends and have just given one to the local baker who had to close their cafe and now do deliveries. Made his day so well worth it.

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    Can I throw a spanner in the works...? Try the Moray Coast. The Cairngorms too. There are significantly fewer midges, the beaches are still incredible and there is plenty of wide open space to camp. It is also significantly drier. There are quite a few German and Dutch tourists and it is...
