Talk From The Timber. Diary of a Scottish woodcrafter. Lover of nature and wild places! Saturday, 24 January 2015. Horse From A Horse. Got into carving this today. A Horse head kuksa cup. Out of some Horse Chestnut. It works very easily. And has some nice colour variations through the grain. It gave me the little kick I needed to get back in the workshop. b. Sunday, 18 January 2015. Bought this little block plane today made in the USA. No maker as such a few numbers on it. Sunday, 11 January 2015.

The Tenacious Gardener!: July 2014

Sharing our success and failures of cold climate gardening in the Scottish Highlands. Meet the TG crew. Friday, 11 July 2014. Ruddy ducks and gruesome gorse. Remember those darned Gorse bushes I had to hack at in an attempt to rescue ducks that didn't rescueing last week? Well this is what those spear like thorns do to a person. Sounded like a good plan until it dawned on me that I am the only one with the time to actually get in the pond and do it. It should be done every year really but last year w...

The Tenacious Gardener!: November 2014
http://thetenaciousgardener.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sharing our success and failures of cold climate gardening in the Scottish Highlands. Meet the TG crew. Saturday, 8 November 2014. It's looking very bland outside now and I'm loving it. It may sound strange for a gardener to admit that but I love, love, love this time of year, not only do I get to prune, chop and tidy everything up ready for next year but I get a better idea of what is right and what is wrong with the garden. As it stands right now it may not look too daunting but the very far end and si...

David Alviti - Tree Services and Rustic Creations: More Pruning
http://www.davidalviti.com/2015/02/more-pruning.html
Sunday, 15 February 2015. Some more fruit tree pruning this week. This was a cluttered 'Newton Wonder' a good cooker apparently. After - a good thin of the centre and some of the lower scaffold branches, as well as reducing the height. Shame it was a bit of a wet day. Made wetter by the fact we had some suckers on a willow to remove, luckily the customers had some waders for us to use. Also I made Jack do it, which made it much better!

Sunday, 18 January 2015. Horse Chestnut take down. Got called in to help a couple of friends with a biggish job they'd picked up. I was just there for the day with the goal of getting the tree down in a day, as the guys were coming back the following day to split the remaining wood and tidy up. It was quite alot of tree to get down in one day. And although there was a clear drop zone, the ground was quite wet and the lawn tidy, so we still had to rigg about 70% of the brash and larger diameter timber.
