Green wood workers do most of the shaping whilst the wood still has allot of moisture in it as the wood is much softer. After the wood is dry I then typically go over everything again leaving a silky smooth finish with the knife!

Well that's one way to fix a crack in a cup 🦵 🕷️

Just finished this cup when a little crack showed himself 😔 a bit of glue does the trick fine for me, but I would not send an order out to someone knowing there was a Mended split in it.

These things can be frustrating parts of being a cup maker, but can also offer up the opportunity to release some creativity!

Normally I don't run any courses over the winter as it is just too cold on the hands for folk but when you get offered to teach in a cozy renovated barn in Banchory 😀

Sycamore is a bit harder to carve than my usual Birch but is more durable and gives a great silky look to a cup.

What a wonderful little trip to Venice

I found my new favorite sculpture: The Angel by Marino Marino (such joy in this whole piece). Had too much pizza (if that's possible) and and walked until the sun went down
