Thank you . Been waiting 5 months to reach this point after I started with the structure. It will be nice to make something that is not the workshop or for the workshop!

My interpretation of a Puffin as a commission for a baby girl.

Well, as the fat controller said to Thomas; 'I like your Puffin!'

IMHO one of your best.

How tall is it? And how do you like the Lime?

Why thank you all.

Its only about 6 inches tall. It's the first time I've really carved something large out of lime. I have to say its the nicest wood I've worked with. It doesn't scar as much as other woods when you rasp it so I pretty much had the whole lot done (bar the feet) in less than a day. With something like Oak it would have taken much longer.

Needed somewhere to put all these spice bags laying around the spice cabinet so I made a box

Filled to capacity at once, infact there's still stuff left.

European walnut, finished with a linseed oil and wax emulsion and buffed out. I tried first with a water based poly but what a PITA and it didn't come looking as nice, sanded it off and rubbed it by hand with this, then buffed it out with a shop towel.

horrid photo but its a cherry & walnut ply drum kit with wooden hoops, photo taken from a drum show at the weekend i crammed in several overnight shifts to get this done, my workshops in bits right now so was a challenge to build in time.
