A large bowl that features an aged copper and bronze look on the outside with an awesome example of Nova Scotia Cherry on the inside! It’s a big ‘un at 13 9/16” in diameter and 4 1/4” tall.

Another bowl made of Ash that features a striking red ring near the rim. The wood was also harvested in the Hardwoodlands area of Nova Scotia in 2011. It is 7 3/4” (19.5cm) in diameter and 3” (7.5cm) tall so it’s just perfect for a salad for two!

A traditional box style burial urn made of Ash that features a natural finish, showing its beautiful contrasting yellow and light brown grain. The box is 10 1/8” wide x 8” deep x 4 5/8” tall with an interior of approximately 200 cubic inches.

Here’s another shot, a top-down closeup, of the shallow Walnut bowl we posted earlier. A photo still doesn’t do this piece justice but hopefully it gives you a bit of a better view of the rich, reddish hues running through the differing shades of browns. :)

A shallow bowl made from wood harvested in the Mah

A shallow bowl made from wood harvested in the Mahone Bay area in 2010 from a 100 plus year old Walnut tree that fell during Hurricane Igor. It is 12 1/2” (32cm) in diameter by 2 3/4” (7cm) tall and finished with Treebalm so it’s perfect for salads! Unfortunately, we were unable to truly capture the beautiful reddish brown grain in the photo. :(

Here’s a view of the inside of the Yellow Cedar burl bowl that we posted earlier, showing the beautiful explosion of eyes that truly makes this so unique. Beautiful wood, huh?

Here’s a Yellow Cedar burl bowl that, in addition to the awesome grain with its multitude of exploding eyes, features a sloped side and red stained foot. It is 8 1/4” (21cm) in diameter by 3 1/8” (8cm) tall and has a super smooth feel and a warm glow. The wood came to us from the West Coast of Canada many years ago via a friend. A beauty, indeed!

And here’s another large Ash bowl but this one features a red stained and limed bottom. The liming really accentuates the grain! It measures 12”in diameter by 4” tall.

Everything AND the kitchen sink! We recently finished a six foot potting bench for the garden that includes an under-counter storage area and a sink. We’ll add the tap and run a hose to it in the Spring. It’ll be a great area for prepping our plants as well as rinsing them off at harvest time. Plus, we can reuse the rinse water simply by emptying the bucket! 🪴

A bowl made of Ash that features a striking red ring near the rim. The wood was harvested in the Hardwoodlands area of Nova Scotia in 2011. It is 11” (28cm) in diameter and 3 7/8” (10cm) tall and it is finished with our Treebalm, so it’s just perfect for large salads!

Here’s another painted Ash bowl but this one is painted green. Again, notice how the natural colour of the Ash is accented by the colour of the paint. It measures 9” (23cm) in diameter and 3 1/4” (8.25cm) tall.

Here’s a delightful Ash bowl that features a painted blue bottom. The contrasting colour makes the natural wood pop! It measures 8 1/4” (21cm) in diameter and 3 1/4” (8.25cm) tall. What do you think? 😁

Here’s an Ash bowl that’d be great for large salads! It is finished with Treebalm, our food safe finish, and it measures 12” (30cm) in diameter by 3 3/4” (10cm) high. The grain on this one is beautiful too!

Here’s a small bowl made of Laburnum, a tree native to the mountains of Europe. It is commonly used as an ornamental, sometimes called Golden Chain. We were given the wood by a good friend and fellow woodturner from British Columbia. It is 4” in diameter by 1 7/8” tall. Awesome to work with and with beautiful results. Agree? :)

Here’s a simple project that has great reward! Just a board with a few slots cut in it makes a great card holder for a young one. Now cards games with our granddaughter are even more fun! And you know what? After seeing how convenient this is we’re likely going to make a couple for ourselves!

We really built the fence to corral this fine pair of broncos! 😁 What a delightful project. It was so great watching the little ones race around the yard riding on their stick ponies, chasing each other. Giddy up! Yippee Ki-Yay!

In addition to the composter we also built this fe

In addition to the composter we also built this fence and arbor with gate to dress up the front entrance to the garden, and *hopefully* provide a deer deterrent. It runs almost 25 feet and also made of Hemlock, though we stained it instead of letting it go grey. 🛑 🦌

Yep, we’re still here! What a Summer, and now we’re well into Autumn! Time sure flies when you’re having fun! We’ve got some catching up to do so we thought we’d start with some garden pics… 😁🍅🌻

Our new three bin composter made with Nova Scotia

Our new three bin composter made with Nova Scotia hemlock! A great project combining our love of gardening and woodworking! After eight years of service our old three bin composter made from pallet wood gave up the ghost so it was time to build a new one. Now back to making quality soil. We hope the red wigglers approve… :)

Hankerin’ for a yarn swift? (See what we did there? LOL!) What a fun project this was to make. And the best part is we see new socks in our future!

Just look at them eyes! We recently found this sweetheart of a bowl in a beautiful piece of Yellow Cedar burl that came to us from the West coast many years ago. The bowl is 5.25” in diameter and 2.5” tall and sits slightly raised on a red stained foot.
