I’ve been cheating on my wardrobe with homeware so much recently. But on the plus side, my bedroom looks super cute thanks to @primark,@ikea-everydayand@depop

My tendonitis has really limited carving time lately, but it’s given me the opportunity to try a few things and do some more experimenting with paint.
I love how this bowl has turned out (have a look at my story for a full view). It’s blue over white milk paint, i think about 8 or 9 thin layers in all, and sanded first with a coarse-ish grit to uncover the white followed by a very fine grit to give it a lovely, silky finish. I’ve found a really important part of getting a shiny finish like this is to use kitchen paper to almost buff it.
It’s quite a time consuming process due to the number of coats needed but I’ve found that the paint just doesn’t stick as well or last as long with fewer, thicker coats, especially on spoons, and feels so tactile and smooth.
As you can see in the background, this has opened up a few exciting avenues which I’ll share more of another day!

I’m finally getting around to putting some handles on the Christmas tree whisks I started in January. These ones are beech on the left and walnut on the right which works really nicely against the pale spruce of the whisk.
.
I’ll be taking a bunch of these to next month’s market at @hartsbakery but will probably post a couple for sale on here before then if there’s any interest. Let me know if you might like one!

Well, it was bound to happen at some point ♂️
This is what happens when you try to go too thin. Now I just have to decide who’s not getting a Christmas present…

Found time last night for a bit of bowling. This elm turned beautifully.

Little chamfers around the holes of these serving boards make a world of difference aesthetically and to the touch.
.
These will be on my stall at the @madeinbristolshops Gift Fair this weekend at Colston Hall.

I love the way bowls bend up at the edges as they dry, this one looks like a little boat

My first Christmas market is the @madeinbristolshops Gift Fair at Colston Hall in the centre of Bristol, this Saturday and Sunday.
.
I’m very excited as it’s the first time I’ll be selling bowls alongside my spoons! This stack as well as a few more will be on display.
.
I really hope if you’re nearby and want to see lots of amazing, handmade goodies, then you’ll come along. I’ll have a couple of special offers for anyone who follows my work on here (details to follow) so please come and say hi!

After a difficult day yesterday, motivation is back on track and I’m going with the flow with this wavy sycamore

Not all of them make it. This one had a tiny crack in the bowl, probably from an axe blow that went just a tiny bit too far, an all to common error!
It’s particularly frustrating because these cracks usually don’t show themselves until much later, by which time you’ve already spent lots of time finishing the spoon.
Nothing to do but learn from it and move on the next!

If you want to see what this should look like, check a couple of posts back on my profile.

Batch production continues. It seems so weird to have to be thinking about Christmas so early in the year (markets were all booked up in July!!), I never used to even mention the word until December 1st at the earliest!
These are my cooking spoons. I always do a few in different designs but this is my most popular and the one I make most of. I also make a mini version that’s perfect for smaller jobs like gravy and porridge.
I’ll have lots more made over the next week that will be painted all the colours of the rainbow!
