Based in Lancashire UK, I volunteer in woodland management, have a keen interest in green woodworking, chair making, coppice crafts and woodland habitats. Lancashire, EnglandJoined May 2024
Latest project just completed and first coat of oil made it really pop. Knife block in oak, ash and spalted beech. Ash is from locally felled trees (due to die back) and windfall Beech from a local estate, carefully rip sawing to find the best spalting was a treat.

Nice find at the car boot, Stanley No 742 breast drill, USA made, wonder how she ended up in Lancashire ? I've a few other braces but this is a new fangled two speed affair - how fancy. I'll post some pics once she's cleaned and and doing a job for me. #handtool#woodworking

Warmer weather is on the way, and wood is on the move!
Why does wood move? Because of water!
Wood movement is caused by a nearly unavoidable, natural tendency of moisture to enter and exit wood cells from the surrounding environment.

Good log -v- Bad log, looking for straight grain for chair parts, you dont want the abomination on the right 🔥🌳 thats going for firewood! This is green ash wood, felled a month or two before splitting, you never know what you’re going to find, great fun.
Recent car boot find, rare to have the original box on a Stanley no 4, I think perhaps bought in UK in 1970’s. I’ve cleaned it up and oiled it but not sharpened it yet. Very nostalgic. #woodworking#crafts
One for the #handtool woodworkers, here are some of the tools I used at a recent green woodworking demonstration, yep including a pack of extra strong mints apparently 😂 I love the old spoke shaves.
We'll be at Milly's Smiles Spring Fair on Saturday, the 18th of May. Then, on Monday, the 27th of May, we'll be at the Great Harwood Agricultural Show, which will be held at the Great Harwood Showground. We'll be providing lots of free, fun, and creative craft activities!
Dry run setting up the pole lathe under the event shelter ready for Great Harwood Show 27th May 2024. Come along to see how it is used for traditional chair making.
Custom wine rack, in oak and inlayed ash that I like. The front rails where a real challenge, turned on a pole lathe, these lengths were difficult to manage as they grew thinner. Ash inlays at the sides and oak wedged tenons looked great in the end. Now to drink some.
Charcoal making in Lancashire, its a midi kiln rather than a full size kiln but that worked well for us, took just under 24 hours to complete and pretty successful burn. Nice job to be doing while we worked on other jobs around that area.
