Back in January I spent a couple of days up in Inverurie milling Elm with Keith Threadgall and Tom Cooper. Despite the cold weather we got some good cutting done and graded through 7 tonnes of logs. We were fortunate to be able to pick and choose from 20 plus tonnes of Elm to get a good mix of straight grain, character and burr boards. Lengths varied from 1500 to 2800mm and upto 500mm wide which we cut to our usual sizes of 32, 40 and 54mm thickness with a few boards at 60mm too. We got the boards hauled down to the workshops at the end of february and we've been getting them stacked and stickered ready for air drying since then.

Little bit of chisel action today adding some sycamore inserts into the sides of the shoe rack.
Working on a shoe rack with an Arts & Crafts influence. Lovely elm.
Dovetails, hand rubbed finishes, cement mixers. the life of a furniture maker! Started renovating an old leanto shed at the front of the workshop and ended up rebuilding it from the ground up. Pouring concrete on the hottest day of the year was not my smartest decision. On the plus side I've now.
