Weekend Work

With the arrival of The Master Craftsman on Saturday we set to work in The Workshop.
We have routered out fingerholds on the bottom of each board so that lifting off a smooth surface is made easier.

On Sunday he reset the plane which I was having trouble using as it wasn't planing true. After a lot of careful adjustment it is now taking off thin curls of wood which will greatly speed the process of making the cutting and chopping boards dead flat. After a lot of work the smaller sycamore board is now finished to a gloss surface.

Very early on Sunday morning I took some photographs to send over to the Photographer in the hope that she will be able to use my boards as 'props' for her food photography. ( The onions were a gift from my neighbours Elaine & Stuart from their hugely productive allotment)

The 12 inch Sycamore Breadboard £18.00














The 13" Hornbeam Chopping Board £30.00
(work in progress)
