Welshy is a man of enormous talent, where as I'm an enthusiastic amateur at best. We both like playing around with wood and here are some of the things we've done in the past, of course with an endless supply of material from the woodland, our productivity will hopefully increase.

and here are some of his wood burning creations
We also have a micro-lathe, which can be powered by the solar panel. Off-grid living will not stop our creativity.

We both started working with wood after an afternoon at a festival with the whittling knives and here is a little selection of what we've made.
So there you have it folks, this is why we NEED a woodland. What could be better than to spend your days making the wood shavings fly. Some of the stuff pictured is available to buy, so if you're interested, drop me a line.
I love it, I love your dream and wish you all the luck in the world. I'm forever inspired by Welshy's work. I love pyrography and he's a Master Craftsman.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, Welshy thinks your work is stunning too :)
DeleteThank you for your kind words Michelle !
DeleteJust realised I actually have a Welshy Tree of Life fob. I bought it a few years ago. Beautiful & unmistakable.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I gather 'the native Americans' (a term that covers most of a continent!) say if you own an acre if land you also own an acre of sky. Not sure it's technically true anymore ... But I pretend it is. :-)
Good manifesting with your woodland. It's out there somewhere awaiting you. :-)
Wow, it's a small world eh Sally ? I hope the key fob is holding up to the rigors of use and you're still as happy with it now as you were when you first received it !
