But the wood supplier wants a large plate, so he gave me a plank of oak! Now I must get to the back of the storeshed where the box of plates is...and decide what I would like the wood maker to make!
We headed back north for delicious coffee and cake, good art and a warm welcome at the Gallery at Lauriston
Then Pirate caught the weather window and rode the nearly ten miles to the next big village..and as the bike went back in the car, the rain came down again!!
Home again and the rain had had enough...as dusk fell...typical!
It sounds like an enjoyable and profitable day out.

ReplyDeleteHope you think of someething beautiful to make with that wood. I have always wanted a wooden sign with my housename but the machine mass produced ones don't appeal. a beautiful chopping board also comes to mind :)
ReplyDeleteI think it will be a small table, with the very thin edge taken off. I know the repro table it will replace.
ReplyDeleteI'd be tempted just to keep the wood to stroke whenever things got stressful!
