Thought i'd throw some of these up, as I've been doing a few 'first timers' recently which has been a lot of fun
My first crack at some beer tankards, fully hot waxed. And why make something plain when you can tool it.... so I cranked out some nice Pictish spiralwork and celtic knots as I usually do

Another first was being asked to make a motorcycle seat. He wanted it in black with the punisher skull tooled on it in a different colour. The metal seat itself had been custom made and due to the fit, I decided not to wetform this. It's simple bent into shape over the foam and steel and moulds nicely when sat on.

Another first this month was this ladys handbag. It's incredibly difficult to make a ladys handbag actually look handmade rather than just another machine made fancy label bag. Though the customers instructions were incredibly specific so I couldn't deviate much with design. Not entirely sure if i succeeded here or not!
