A delightful way to spend a day

A delightful way to spend a day

A remarkable chair that I spied earlier this year

A remarkable chair that I spied earlier this year in the roundhouse performance space at the Felin Uchaf Centre, a social enterprise on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales. There's an inspiring collection of natural building and hand crafts and growing projects going on there. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in that corner of the world. @felin_uchaf

I have rarely spied a chair made so lovingly from naturally curved pieces of wood. Sorry but I don't know who made it, though I'd quite like to meet them 😀

Wood can be right fancy sometimes, don't you think

Wood can be right fancy sometimes, don't you think?

Plum and elm (I think) and they're not even oiled yet, then the grain will really pop.

Of course some folks like plain wood and the purity of form without the distraction of all that colour. But I like the challenge of pretty wood, there's more to engage your visual imagination.

Happy carving, have fun and carve safe.

Here you go then, to celebrate my appearance in the photography issue of @spoonesaurus mag, I'll share possibly the greatest ever photo of the Blaencelyn Spoonclwb ever taken. This was 6 years ago in deepest darkest west Wales, not far from Llangrannog. Shot on self timer (that's me in the photo on the right in the armchair). Olympus EM5 MK2, f2.8, 14mm, 1600iso 1/4 second exposure and processed in lightroom with some natural HDR effects.

Sadly Martin has since moved from his smallholding so the clwb is no more. Enjoy.

Website Developer

I can sometimes be persuaded to help folks with their websites - it is what I done for many years but I'm trying to live a more analog life now.
