Been trying to learn bark weaving as an alternative craft while I'm in the house. As someone who's been doing green woodworking and metal working for 15 years, I'm being utterly humbled by this craft. I'll continue to learn but it's so difficult!

Picked up this tenon cutter for ยฃ19 - it's old and needed work on the cutting edge but it works!

Did a 5k hike this morning - saw an abandoned water treatment works, woodland and wet meadows. Didn't see a soul and was very peaceful. Will definitely be doing it again!

Old forged ring - I only made one for someone (wish I'd made myself one).

Last of the elm. Been sat in a cupboard for 3 years.

Carved a ghost out of walnut. It's hard to see the detail in the grain but it's great to feel and hold. I'll certainly do more of these when I get different woods.

Made a walnut rack for the treen I've made. Just need a place to hang it.

Spent a bit of time playing guitar yesterday - it's better when I'm in the mood rather than forcing practice.

Anyway, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia makes me smile and never fails to make me feel better.

Got this as a gift - cleaned it up, new skin and it looks amazing! I really hope they like it.
