Wood carvers, turners and archers..... we could use your waste products :-)

[Toddy]

Among the crafty minded of us there's a need at present for:

Offcut and shavings from Port Orford cedar arrow shafts.

Brazilwood shavings/ carving debris.

We're happy to pay postage costs and will openly owe you a favour that we'll repay when we can

atb,
Toddy

I have to ask Mary, what for?

I have to ask Mary, what for?

Pot pourri?

 

[Toddy]

The Port Orford cedar is for pot pourri but also for those seasonal mug rug things that are filled with stuff that smells good when the hot coffee mug is sat upon them, and for little sachets for linen presses and wardrobes.

The logwood/ Brazilwood is for the folks who're having a go at making their own ink.

Sometimes I think an on-going thread of folks on the look out for useful stuff like this, wouldn't be a bad thing

cheers,
M

Pot pourri?

Could well be, does that sound like the kind of thing that goes in pot pourri?

Taking out a restraining order on yourself that doesn't allow you within 50 feet of Tupton, I like your thinking

Indeed, sorry Toddy, bit of a thread jack there from two old tuptoners (them two), and one old deincourter (the good looking, witty, intelligent, and above all else, well educated me). It could be a lot worse, 20 years ago we'd have been down the bottom of station road throwing bricks at one another. Oh the memories

it's a school thing in case anyone's wondering

Port orfor cedar isnt a real cedar, it is Lawsons cypress, it originated from Port Orford, on the west coast of america, and mistakenly called cedar.

 

[Toddy]

I thought that you said your reTraining order



I like threads that ramble a bit

What do you win ?...... a Christmas scented mug rug ....if I get hold of some Port Orford Cedar shavings, that is. it's a lovely woodsy, slightly perfumey pine sort of smell and it's a good basis for cinnamon, cloves and orange peel scents.
