Oak spindles for a customer’s chair repair. Quite a chair week last week, I’ve been slowly working on a garden bench, and when David came along he built up enough courage to add the undercarriage to the child’s chair he’s working on.

Plenty of shavings for lighting the fire today, must get that syrup tin swapped over.
