New year, new workspace, new vibration!

It’s been quite a journey for me this year, culminating with a move to new workshop premises over Yuletide. I’m pleased to say that from the beginning of 2023 I will be based now in Weymouth amongst new friends at Unbearable Design, on Lynch Lane.

Not only do I have workshop space, but I have paddles and wooden objects On Sale in the adjoining retail shop. So, drop by and see things being made, have a chat and take the opportunity to buy something handmade and unique.

Wishing each of you the very best for 2023

Friday’s treat.

I made this ottertail paddle a little while ago. And it wasn’t bad, but it’s balance wasn’t what I wanted. So back on the bench with it for a couple of hours and now it’s where I wanted it to be. 🙌🏽

Sometimes it’s good to look again at what you produce and be unafraid to revisit what you’ve done and improve it.
