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.
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!!
I love hearing about working in the wood and the photos are stunning.
Thanks Bel, appreciate the feedback!

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!
Love the videos and descriptions. Quite mesmerising. And what a beautiful end product. 👏
Fond memories of using some of those techniques with you from the sweet chestnut logs to build a fence at Little Barn.

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.
Great piece Andrew! Love the photos and videos. It’s such a visceral process and you describe it brilliantly. Great gate :-)
Thanks David! I think the gate will be very happy in its new home.
