A shortish yew and ash bench for a tight spot. The yew is from a tree in Stillorgan and the ash from the woods here. The oldest worked piece of wood on record is a spear head from Essex made of yew. 450,000 years old. Give or take. #yew #essex #bench #irishcraft #greenwoodworking #liveauthentic #slowliving #livefolk #permaculture #madeinireland #handcrafted #ireland #wicklow

There’s few things I like more than chipping away in the workshop on a rainy day with a podcast, radio or music on the @sonos. A few weeks ago I did a project on the creative persona of @blindboyboatclub. Then, in a random photo, an image of his plastic bag covered head appeared Turin Shroud like in the rusted corrugated iron roof. Maybe it’s a sign. But of what? #information #turin #workshop #apparition #attrition #milk #message #from #dog

Some of my three legged stools sitting pretty in the pared back luxury of @heckfield_place. Walnut semicircular top and riven sweet chestnut legs. Each just four bits of wood. Simples

Journeyman/intern/volenteer/axethrower @sammoosh heads off on his merry way go sona sásta. Was great to have an extra pair of hands the last while. Especially as he was sharper than an Austrian scythe, humble and good craic (for a Sepo’) 🙏 #journeyman #irishcraft #greenwoodworking #liveauthentic #slowliving #livefolk #permaculture #woodcraft #futureheirloom #handcrafted furniture #ireland #wicklow

Lovely old elm slab chair with sentimental value t

Lovely old elm slab chair with sentimental value that I received in a bag to restore. The lower half was a bit too far gone. As the owner loves Hazel I decided to make it make it out of that. The pegs in the second picture are called ‘ghost rails’ There’s a theory these were traditionally for hanging your sodden boots on so they could dry out near the fire of an evening. There is another and more plausible suggestion that they are just plugging up mortices that were bored at the wrong angle. 😬#bored #bullshit #elm #vernacular #cottage #furniture #kitchen #irishcraft #greenwoodworking #liveauthentic #nothingisordinary #slowliving #livefolk #permaculture #madeinireland #woodcraft #futureheirloom #handcrafted #stick #ireland #wicklow

10/10 🥳 . Hers a leylandii cube. I’ve always been drawn to big lumps of timber. And I feel mildly offended when they are made to look like they are solid but out of thin materiel. #toupee. A piece of wood like this will possibly move, crack and darken a bit as it drys slowly over time. But you would need to give it 100 years to acclimatise just to be on the safe side. It stands on little rubber feet and still some finishing to do on it. Softened, burnished and wax oiled only. 500mm x 350mm. This one has a home already but I have more so dm if interested…..I don’t know who or if I should nominate someone else to post 10 pics in 10 days. I’d have to ask permission. It’s less fun than I thought😅. Thanks for the spur though @dee.synnottwoodcraft.

Sharpening stones go back thousands and thousands

Sharpening stones go back thousands and thousands of years. They were once the most precious of traded goods. This was ages before Amazon. A tool that could help create a fine edge was literally ‘cutting edge technology’. I’m tidying up this recent find for a friend. It has lead me down a YouTube hole finding out more about them. One of modern technology’s joys. #sharpening #stone #hone #youtube #stoneage #tools #find #youtube #liveauthentic #nothingisordinary #slowliving #livefolk #woodcraft #futureheirloom #handcrafted #ireland #wicklow
