    Default Eggs

    Just finishing yet another big Cypress bowl [ 420mm X 100mm ] when I got a request for wooden eggs for relocated chooks, a nice 10 min skew practise.

    Chooks not fussy so unsanded Camphor, maybe keep the bugs off them. IMG_20160417_151248.jpgIMG_20160417_151351.jpg Thanks for looking. Phil.

    Put some of the camphor shavings in with the bedding in the nest box as well, but not so much that it becomes overpowering, maybe around 5 - 10 % if the total shavings.

    That is excellent work with the skew. Nice bowl too. Some cypress shavings in the bedding won't hurt either.

    They look good Phil and they are not as easy as they look are they!! Lovely bowl too.

    About 15 or so years back I had a commission from a falconry centre near Newent Gloucestershire. It was to turn 5 dozen eggs in 5 sizes from kestrel to golden eagle, for the same reason as yours!! I didn't have a boiled egg for a while after that



    I can't remember how much was skew and how much spindle gouge, but by the time I had finished I was sick of the bloody sight of them!! Earned me some cash along with a lovely yew log along with a holly log, about 5 foot long. Both had been used as display stands in the centre's shop for years and were bone dry!
    My ambition is to grow old disgracefully. So far my ywife recons that I'm doing quite well! John.
