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!

My first courses of 2025 @thebarnarts

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.

Look how cool these fungi hyphae. Anybody know from what mushroom these might be, it was on a dead Scots Pine? No sign of a fruiting body?

What a wonderful little trip to Venice Going this

What a wonderful little trip to Venice

Going this time of year meant no ques and it not being rammed!

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

☹️ a cracked cup! So heartbreaking when you have made a cup you are proud of! This thankfully does not happen much at all any more with the way I carve my cups, but every once in a while I think the cup gods like to remind me wood is a natural material with it's own personality, history and hidden flaws.

I try to eliminate this happening to anyone buying my cups by running them through a series of waterproof tests which should find any flaws if there are any. Not in this case apparently😐

The cup owner thankfully was very understanding and their new cup is being made for them 🙂

A little tip is you have a crack, a thin super glue works wonders on mending cracks 👍🏿

Would you have this smart gentleman dispensing your toilet paper? 🧻

This was my Christmas present to my partner this year. Quite a tough shape to carve.
