Woodworking

It has been a long while since I last showed some of the things I'm doing with wood. It is very exciting to me since I'm learning everything 'hands-on' so to say, but even without any guidance but trial and errors I can see getting better and better all the time. I'm learning to master our new-to-us stand drill, chisels and wood-burning iron and I'm looking for a good carving knife to test myself on a new level of the carving experience. But here the last things I made ...

Flower-shaped pen holder (or brush holder). It is quite fun if you look at the first two pictures, the toys around the stand drill ... house full of (unschooled) kids that's it heheheh ....

Candle holder out of a branch

 

Pyrographed dread or beard beads

 

All the wood i use is either recycled ( the pen-holder ) or out of fallen branches that I find in the forest, so everything is extremely eco-friendly.

Sawdust

Longer and warmer spring days call for a long time spent outdoors, which means not so many deeds done, or maybe not so much time to record them in pictures as I usually work at my different projects in the teenie weenie space of time between this and that, but I have to admit that even in the hustle and bustle of spring I can still have much done and it usually translates at the moment in huge piles of sawdust ( which my husband highly dislikes, but that's it ... eheheh ). Did I already mention that now we have a stand-drill and I'm utterly thrilled of this new ''toy'' ? With one of my sons we always jokingly argue over who is to use it as we both love the new piece of machinery ....
