Here’s a (rather blurry/soft focus phone) photograph of the peeled oak gates installed.
I’ll take another when I return with the oak drop bolt with renewable pin.
Many thanks to Dave for his sterling help – it was definitely a two-handed job to get everything looking good when there are no right lines to follow.
I delivered this renovated bench today too:
It’s another hand tooled finish in chestnut.
Wild About Wood coming up this weekend at Castle Howard.
Nice gate. The photo looks like it was taken in the 70s and faded a bit! Love to see some close ups of the joints etc
All the best Sean
Ah if only it was in the 70s, felt like about 48 at some points this afternoon when the wind was blowing a gale. Nearly had to roll my sleeves down.
BTW all the 70s joints have been used up now.
Very cool!
Very nice! Looks strong.
