These pencils are made from a branch of a tree, I'm not sure were they come from but it is very hard wood I put peoples names on them with a pyrography tool which burns into the wood.

Just made this rolling pin for my wife, it's made from Ash and finished with safe food oil.

This is a nice little present if you want to treat your car, it's a hand made gear knob with a pound coin incerted in thetop. I can suply in most colours, and with or with a coin or maybe badge you can just have the natural wood grain showing.
If you woul like one please go onto the contact page.

Look at the bottom of the gear knob this is where it screws onto gear stick, what is needed before ordering a new gear knob is the size of the thread on gearstick.

This little Gear shift knob made of cherry, with a pound coin incerted in the top has been sent
to a very good friend in the USA for his pickup truck.

This is a little bit of Spalted beech that I turned one evening with a base from a scrap of elm that I had laying around the workshop.

This is another one of Davids  turned  projects of 2011, but he did not do the pyrography.

This candle stick was designed, and turned by our David the base was made seperate and glued on after, the hole for the candle was turned out with a small scraper .  This was the first time he used one and coped quite well with the end grain.

This is one of our Davids lastest projects, a bowl and pestle for Mum for Christmas.

This is a little old knife owned by my friend Declan, he has had it for some years, and was passed onto him by a friend.  Because of it's age about 50 + years and the handle being made of I think plastic or itcould have even been bone had split bad so it has now got a new oak handle.
This is Declans favorite knife for cutting veg, and other food  cutting jobs in the kitchen.  A good recycling project a well loved knife still being used.

These six pictures are of my friend Declans project. He started to get interested in turning earlier this year and progressed thoughout the year making a few small pieces and learning tool techniques.  This piece of Ash was bought from a wood turning show in Nov and what you see is the end result with a little help and assistance from me.
