Why not simply Uula - which looks FinnishCertainly looks like Adula to me. The underline and the left slope with crossbar look very convincing.
By far the most likely suggestion so far.Why not simply Uula - which looks Finnish

Very up market handle but I’d call that a trowel rather than a hoe.re-handled a garden hoe in english oak, finished in BLO.
I can lend you a real dog that would love to have kids throwing scooby snacks at him.We used to have a thread about stuff made from skip trophies which this should really be in. This is a game for our summer fair. Scooby-snacks for Scooby-Doo.
We have load of games for small children to keep them entertained while families their money at the cream teas and in the beer tent. They throw the little bones in Scooby’s mouth . This is a replacement for one I made years ago which has come to grief.View attachment 181006
I'm not much of a woodworker, so please keep that it mind
My youngest son keeps Hens and they've produced a lot of eggs lately, far too many for my son's family (and my wife and I) to get through. My wife suggested that he should try selling some of the eggs to the locals, so with that in mind I thought I'd have a go at knocking up an egg stall.
I don't think it's actually been put to any use yet, but here's some pics after I'd finished building it.

I had a go at making a sign to put up somewhere, I didn't have any paint, so made do with a sharpie.

Cracking does the job love the wooden Hen on topJust a quick update, my son shared a photo of his stall and told me he'd sold all of the eggs He had people queuing up to buy them.
I think he might need to charge a bit more

Beautiful. Have you read "The Wheelwrights Shop" by George Sturt. If not I strongly recommend you track down a copy. It's a delight.Two of these, replacements for an old vehicle. Only the hubs were reusable, which I’ve taken back to bare wood and made good.
Ready for the tyres now, then off to the paintersView attachment 181280
Yes Keith, a great little book, from a world long goneBeautiful. Have you read "The Wheelwrights Shop" by George Sturt. If not I strongly recommend you track down a copy. It's a delight.
Me too. I call a spade a spade.Very up market handle but I’d call that a trowel rather than a hoe.
Nicely done. Good to see old crafts being kept alive. Some pics of the tyre fitting would be icing on the cake.Two of these, replacements for an old vehicle. Only the hubs were reusable, which I’ve taken back to bare wood and made good.
