I had a great bowl turning lesson today from my pal Jamie Carr. This is my third bowl, a year and a half after my first and second. It's amazing how simple, yet difficult it is! So much of the difference between success and failure can be the slightest adjustment in posture, angle of the hook or firmness of grip. It's definitely something I'd like to explore further, at least until I have replacements for all of the ceramic bowls and plates in my cupboards! Will post a pic when it's dried and oiled. #doesoneleggetbiggerthantheother . . . #wpwoodcraft #wood #woodcraft #woodworking #woodturning #polelathe #turning #bowl #bowlturning #bowllathe #craft #handmade #handcraft #elm #legpoweredbowls #igersbristol

Pesto

Here in our part of Northumberland Spring comes with the scent of Garlic.

Around our village are small areas of woodland which at this time of year, before the trees come into leaf, are carpeted with Wild Garlic plants. Brilliantly green with white flowers the smell as you walk past is intoxicating . . .

Pesto is one of those dishes whose ingredients can be varied with what you have at hand, something green, some nuts, garlic, lemon juice and an oil.

This was todays version adapted from one I found on the internet.

You'll need :

Two or three handfuls of Wild Garlic

A small handful of walnuts

Half a cup of mature Cheddar cheese

A clove of Garlic

The juice of a Lemon

Salt, Pepper and 5 or six tablespoons of Olive Oil.

Peel, roughly chop or squeeze each ingredient as appropriate and put everything except the Olive oil into a blender.

Blend to a coarse paste, you'll need to stop occasionally to scrape it down the sides. Taste it and adjust for flavour : I added another handful of Wild Garlic and a little more salt.

Finally finish by drizzling in the olive oil with the blender running.

Pop into a jar and it will keep for a few days in the fridge.

What a fantastic day! Thanks to @coppicing_suz for inviting me along to this excellent event, where I've met a whole host of new local craftspeople and got a chance to strut my stuff on the pole lathe. Not only that, but the lovely people at @bluetinproduce have taken some of my bowls for their shop. 😊 . . . . . #nationalcoppiceweek #bluetinproduce #traditionalcrafts #greenwoodworking #polelathe #localprovenance #lovewood #woodturning #treen #handcrafted https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zvRutAmC-/?igshid=1ja3d0sfs65y3

Some friends just started making some great quality wooden cups, bowls and plates. They have a stall at Victory Village. Highly recommended! #medieval #woodworking #wood #woodturning #polelathe #woodlathe #craft https://www.instagram.com/p/B0kVfVOHRaW/?igshid=1xm5sp9ji3x6m

I need to stop wearing socks and no shoes whilst turning. At least for these photos. #oldschoolstylez #woodturnersdoitbetter...woodturningthatis #polelathe
