Excellent piece of descriptive writing. The photos and videos really help to convey your intention. Working with wood in the woods. Love it. Good luck with more opportunities to create the bespoke pieces you have in your imagination and hopefully deserved remuneration too. More reflections on your work and relationship with the woods would be great.

Thank you Hadge - it's hard to remember to take photos and videos whilst I'm working but I'm glad I did this time around!

Fond memories of using some of those techniques with you from the sweet chestnut logs to build a fence at Little Barn.

I absolutely love this! I've done a little bit of woodworking and find it, as you say, immensely satisfying. The crackling of the splitting log is such a nice sound. And for some reason the clips of the work being done is fascinating to watch. An artisan at work!!

Thanks Erik! The splitting log is a great sound isn't it? I never get bored of hearing and watching that process. Glad you enjoyed the clips too.
