Welcome to the hearth.
Come in!  Have a seat by the hearth while I tell you a bit about myself.

I'm based in Cumbria, north west England, and I've been involved in woodwork for some years now.

Being of a rustic nature myself, I prefer to be called Dave rather than an online pseudonym such as "Elfwood"
=D

I turn wood from either renewable resources or any odd branches the gales pull off,  or any tree fellings that neighbours donate.

I prefer to leave some bark on my pieces, and to leave them unpolished to give them a more natural feel.
Keep calling back, there's a lot more stuff due to arrive here, including

athames
runes
decorated glassware


and more...
Why not have a look at my Reading Room - I've been lucky enough to find a great new book,

"A Field Guide to the Gods"

This is a great piece of research on the evolution of Christianity from the earlier Pagan beliefs.

I'll act on all sensible suggestions.
Okay - I mentioned earlier that I like to leave the wood un-polished.  Suddenly I have changed my mind, let me tell you why.

Until a couple of weeks ago, I thought that the only wood polish you could get these days was that paraffin based muck that always smells of lavender.

Then, I discovered a REAL beeswax polish, and boy, is this stuff excellent!
Made by Wheelers in Cheshire, England, their "Furniture Cream" gives a fantastic gleam to even partially smoothed wood.

The blurb on the label says "contains no wax substance other than beeswax."

They've got a website
Wheelers, worth a look, but I don't know if they can sell outside the UK.

no.. I'm NOT on commission LOL
