Wow! Where does the time go too? Sadly we had to cancel the craft
fair in July, this due to the drain gurgling up water onto the floor, this would
have been too dangerous for our clients, so appologies all around. We have
accepted an invite to display and demonstrate at the Scottish Mobility Roadshow
17th & 18th September (see main page) so I am looking forward to seeing all our
regulars at the show. We were invited to display at the Scottich
Woodworking show but due to prior commitments (I am flying away) we had to
decline but as you see we are supporting it in every way we can.

Friday 21st May 2010 we attended the Spinal Injuries Scotland awards lunch, the
scoff was fantastic and a great bunch of folk attended. We were honoured
to have made the awards for the third year running and they were well received. 
I am over the moon that we
have been asked to make the awards for 2011 and I already have my thinking cap
on, although it has to be said that my head is empty of ideas (nothing new there
then). The workshop has been busy and we have had a few new members, which
is great. |

The Draws come in a myriad of shapes and sizes, they can be made from a
solid piece of wood or as I prefer from laminated pieces. I saw the large
bits of wood into 1" thick planks, then plane them smooth before gluing them
back into a large piece of wood, this way I believe the wood is more stable.

Aurora Borealis
Aurora is the Goddess of the dawn, solar winds ruffle luminous
curtains of magnetic activity in the earth's northern lights, that
shimmering effect is reflected in this Draw Set. The wood is
Laburnum, which is native to the mountains of southern Europe. Quite
a rare wood in the UK, the heartwood is a dark chocolate brown with
buttery yellow sapwood, all parts of the tree are poisonous and care
must be taken when working the wood, the handles are crafted from
Spalted Beech. The wood for these draws came from Kings Park
Glasgow.
Size: 42 cm High 15 cm Deep and 15 cm Wide

TSUNAMI
These, sometimes huge geologically induced oceanic swells can cause
such devastation and yet they are a beautiful representation of the
Earths power which has inspired the design of these draws. The
pattern in the wood is caused by spalting, after the tree falls to
the ground, it picks up bacteria and fungal spore, these eat at the
wood and that is the lines of colour you can see, the spore needs
moisture to remain alive, as the wood dries then they all die leaving
a stunning pattern in the wood fibre. When working the wood care
must be taken not to inhale the dust as the spores are quite toxic
when being worked on. All our wood comes from within 50 miles
of the Glasgow area. The wood for the handles was a gift and they are
made from re-claimed Ebony (not from Glasgow)
Size: 29 cm wide 20.5cm high and 9cm deep

Mollusc
This draw set was made by Isaac
Curran. The Mollusc
comes in a huge variety of shapes but many of them are streamline so
that it is easier to hang on to small rocks and crevasis which has
inspired the design of these draws. The wood used is

Glasgow where it had been fallen. The wood for the handles was a
gift and they are made from re-claimed Ebony (not from Glasgow) The
lining is a deep red colour and is called "flocking"
