Wood sculpture, first day
I found an interesting little business that makes models. Mostly 3D printed things for oil rigs & ships & suchlike, but also hand-turned things out of wood. They have a small store of a range of naturally-dried (not kiln dried) woods of which Steva was gracious enough to sell me a nice length of Yew at a reasonable price. His Yew, & Elm, & Burl, & Maple, among others, have been sitting on shelves for nine years.
By the time I got my 20 kilo bit of wood to Gray's I had walked it for four kilometers on my shoulder.
After wasting time on a CCS lecture which didn't take place, much like last week, I went to see Malcolm in the wood construction workshop. He gave me a few sadly neglected & rusted wood gouges, a stone, & some oil. I spent five hours sharpening a few to get started with.
