So there I was, 4 days ago, with a list as long as my arm, of things that had to be done before we head off north, when the phone rang. It went something like this.....'We're opening a shop near you in 2 days time, can you supply us with about a dozen pieces that we can display and sell? Something big would be nice!'
Needless to say, it was tight, but I managed to get a few things together.
I'd had a big board of straight-grained elm that was holding about 20% moisture, so I'd roughed out a platter a few months ago.....so that soon got finished, it's about 16" diameter, finished with Danish Oil and microscrystaline wax
Then there's a 12"diam x 4.5" deep bowl from a lovely piece of silver birch (bet Bryan will like it!), finished the same as the platter...
and finally, an assortment of smaller bowls and candlesticks...
They were happy people!
