Add a touch of magical whimsy and mischief to your home with a wooden Christmas Gonk. These three gonks are named Skelf, Snaw and Sneesl after their snowy white beards. Turned from locally sourced wood and decorated with a natural white beard from 100% local Cheviot sheep fleece. These cheeky gonks will likely be accompanying us to the @drumfarmgallerygiftshop Craft Fair, in Drumnadrochit, on Saturday 30th November. In the meantime you can find them on our website. Gonks thrive in a warm and welcoming home and are thought to bring good luck to those that welcome them.

Cosying up inside yesterday, whilst Storm Ashley raged outside, made us really appreciate our beautiful wooden tealight holders. The earthy tones of the wood work so well with autumnal decor and the gentle, flickering light of the tealights enhanced our cosy haven. Also handy in a power cut!

A recent special commission, a personalised chopping board for a wedding gift. As part of a wonderful family tradition, our client had received a handmade, personalised chopping board as a wedding gift and after many years of daily use the chopping board is still serving her well. To continue this tradition she approached us to make a chopping board as a special wedding gift for a close family member. The board was turned from an exquisite piece of birch (I've trapped to capture the chatoyance in clip 3), measuring approximately 29.5cm diameter and 4.5cm depth. It was then painstakingly pyrographed with a design provided by our client. We, and happily our client, were delighted with the result. Personalised chopping boards create such a special and practical gift, please do get in touch if you are looking to commission a one-of-a-kind gift for a loved one (or for yourself of course).   Image Description - Circular chopping board with a design, hand-burned into the top, of 2 thin hexagons with rounded edges offset as a border, with a contemporary Rowan berry and leaf motif at the top, 2024 is written numerically further round the design, and the names Kiva & Josh are set along a straight section of the border towards the bottom right. The slightly tapering side profile of the board can be seen at the front. The board in on a weathered, panelled wood background.   #WoodyNess #WoodenGifts #ShopScotland #SomethingSpecial #HomewareShop #WoodenHomeware #MadeInScotland #MadeInTheHighlands #ChristmasPrep #ChristmasShopping #ChristmasGiftIdeas #UniqueGift #SpecialGiftIdeas #HomeDecor #WoodenHomeDecor #LuxuryGiftIdeas #HomeDecorationIdeas #HeirloomGift #UnusualGifts #WoodenChoppingBoard #ChoppingBoard #PersonalisedChoppingBoard

Gin O'Clock! We had a recent commission that involved turning a 12" chopping board and decorating with pyrography. Woody thought it wise to have a practice with a much smaller piece and turned this stylish chopping board. It's perfect for slicing your favourite G & T fruit accompaniment. Of course I'm not allowed to keep it for myself 🙄! So if anybody is interested in buying it then please DM or get in touch via the contact form on our website. Image description - a chunky, circular chopping board turned from lightly spalted sycamore with a beautiful grain pattern. The side profile tapers in slightly at the waistline. There is a narrow circular groove cut into the chopping surface to collect juice from your fruit. The words Gin & Tonic have been hand-burnt into the wood in an arc toward the top edge of the board. In the background there is an orange coloured gin bottle, two lemons and a metal knife.   #WoodyNess #MadeInScotland #MadeInTheHighlands #WoodenGifts #ShopScotland #WoodenTableware #HomewareShop #Tableware #TableStyling #HandmadeGifts #SpecialGift #ChoppingBoard #GandT #GinOClock #GinAndTonic #CocktailBoard

Another Lighthoose commission. This was Woody's interpretation of Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, on the far west coast of Scotland, which holds a special place in the heart of our client and the friend she gifted it to.

The latest WoodyNess Yarn Bowl - turned from a beautiful piece of elm, 17cm diameter and 9.5cm tall. Based on Hen's tried and tested yarn bowl design (see image 5) perfectly sized to easily hold two 25g balls of yarn or one 100g ball, with two yarn feeds (or 18 if you want to thread through the holes), an incurved rim to prevent the balls lifting out and a heavy weight, large flat bottom for stability. After turning the bowl on the lathe, the radial design is marked out and the holes are drilled and sanded smooth to prevent any snagging. Then the flower design is carefully burnt into the wood using pyrography. The bowl is finished with Danish Oil for nourishment and protection of the wood and finally the outside is buffed to a soft sheen with Carnauba wax. Shown easily holding approximately 50g fingering weight yarn and 10g lace weight floofy yarn. Image description - Top down view of elm yarn bowl with 18 holes evenly spread out around the incurved rim and decorated with a flower design. Two of the holes, opposite each other, have been cut into from the edge of the rim to act as yarn feeds. The bowl holds a lime green fluffy lace weight yarn on the left which is fed out of a hole at the top of the image and a multicoloured (purple, blue, olive green and pink) fingering weight yarn on the right which is fed out of a hole at the bottom of the image. The bowl is sat on a weathered wood background with a glimpse of knitting in the multicoloured yarn. #WoodyNess #MadeInScotland #MadeInHighlands #MadeInTheHighlands #WoodenGifts #WoodenYarnBowl #WoodenYarnHolder #YarnBowls #KnittingAccessories #CrochetAccessories #KnittingAccessory #CrochetAccessory #GiftsForKnittersAndCrocheters #GiftsForKnitters #GiftsForCrocheters #LuxuryGiftIdeas #SomethingSpecial #ShopScotland #WoodturnedBowls #YarnAddict #Knitstagram

Hello there and welcome, As the people behind WoodyNess we thought we should finally introduce ourselves. We are Alexandra & Marcus, or more commonly known on social media as Hen & Woody. WoodyNess, launched in 2022, is a creative partnership based in the Highlands, tucked away in a Glen not far from the iconic Loch Ness. Our passion is the creation of unique, handmade, wooden pieces from trees native to Scotland, with the occasional piece made from exotic wood, which we sell through local shops and our online shop. As you can see from our Instagram grid we have quite an unusual mix of pieces and techniques used. Woody is the wood-turning artist, he gives each piece care, attention and time. Hen, along with embellishing some of the pieces, likes to take charge and ensure that the business runs smoothly, with special consideration given to good customer service. Some of our items are from our WoodyNess Collection, which houses some of our absolute favourites. These are extra special pieces that have been chosen either for the incredible beauty of the wood; because of additional detail and craftsmanship added by a desire to create something different; or both. These pieces show part of Woody's personality and his love of crafting wood. Thank you for following and we hope you like what you see. For more in-depth information and access to special offers, please consider signing-up to our mailing list (via our website) and our monthly newsletter will drop into your email box. Lovely to meet you Hen & Woody xx Photo taken on a beautiful sunny day last Autumn.

GONKS!!! Woody has been wanting to make Gonks for ages but we have been having beard wars. I didn't want to use faux fur made of synthetic polymers, or real fur. It has taken me an age to persuade him to let me try some woolly beards. These beards are made from a Cheviot sheep fleece from a local farm and have been lovingly hand-dyed and shaped. I love how the beards are now as individual as the wood. The last photo shows me sorting part of the fleece whilst the happily shorn sheep amble along in the background. Would love to know what you think of our woolly bearded, wooden Gonks? Please let us know in the comments. Thanks Hen xx Image description - Three wooden gonks with wooden hats and large bushy beards, on a scorched plank of wood. From left to right the beards are ginger, aquamarine and purple. The ginger bearded gonk has a blue painted hat. The other hats are natural to show the beautiful grain of the wood. The hats are pointy with a wooden pompom on top. #WoodyNess #MadeInScotland #MadeInTheHighlands #WoodenGifts #ShopScotland #SustainableCraft #SlowMadeGoods #WoodenDecor #WoodenHomeDecor #QuirkyGifts #WoodenGift #WoodenGifts #UniqueGifts #SpecialGiftIdeas #HomeDecor #HomeDecorationIdeas #SomethingSpecial #Gonks #Gonk #WoodenGonk

I haven't turned a bowl for ages, so I picked up this enticing 6x3" piece of Alder to see where it would take me. It was nice to work on a piece where I didn't have any constraints and could go with the flow. It's one of my favourite shapes with a slightly incurved rim. I had been itching to experiment with my airbrush and texture medium and was chuffed to create a piece where the colours flowed into each other, and the shape and surface texture have resulted in a really tactile bowl. We are pleased to have it for sale in the Drum Farm Gallery Gift Shop @drumfarmgallerygiftshop .   #WoodyNess #MadeInScotland #MadeInTheHighlands #WoodenGifts #ShopScotland #LuxuryGiftIdeas #SomethingSpecial #DecorativeWood #HomeDecorationIdeas #HeirloomGift #HighlandCrafts #GreatGlenWay #Drumnadrochit #LochNess #SlowMadeGoods #Woodturned #WoodturnedBowl #Handcrafted #AnniversaryGift #OutOfTheOrdinary #BeautifulBowls #FinishingTouches #Woodturner #WoodturnersOfIG #WoodturnedBowl #ByMyHand

A recent commission - a woodturned lighthouse as a special birthday gift. Ardgour Lighthouse, at Corran Point, on the shores of Loch Linnhe, is significant to the recipient and his family.

10 x 3 inch oak burr bowl. This is a reworking of a bowl I turned a couple of years ago. I felt the natural defect was crying out for something eye-catching, and @thetinyturner chameleon pigment powders seemed the perfect partner. The pigment shifts between green, blue and yellow, depending on the lighting angle. Finished in @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and @chestnutproducts carnauba wax. The bowl is part of a recent restock to @friendsofhighlandtidedesigns based just over the Cromarty Bridge @storehouserestaurant along the NC500 route. What do you think?

A wee log carved facey, beardy thing... A departure from the usual turned items, but I've been hit with a virus this past week and have had lots of time to sit about feeling sorry for myself. Sooo, I decided to give one of these spirit carved faces a go. Can't say I found it easy, and I'm not sure what the wood is, but here it is in all its dodgy glory. I used a combo of @flexcut.tools, @kirschen.werkzeuge tools, and @jo_sonjas_ukshop acrylics to decorate. Also required a plaster. I'm not sure I'll have another go, but great respect to those who do these on a regular basis! #Woodcraft #CarvedWood #WoodCarving #TrySomethingNewToday #IMadeThis #ByMyHand #SlowmadeGoods #FromTheWoodsByTheHand #Sloyd #SloydKnife #WoodArt #WoodArtist #WoodyNess #MadeInScotland #MadeInTheHighlands #FOFriday #FinishedObject #FinishedObjectFeiday

8x3 inch spalted sycamore fruit bowl. Features a chequered pattern, the dark areas created using @razertip SK with a coil tip, changing the orientation from vertical to horizontal. The layout for this was done with a Paul Howard indexing wheel and KC Wire Burners from @turnersretreat The rim is painted with Phthalo Turquoise acrylic, sealed with @chestnutproducts melamine lacquer. The unpainted wood is sealed with @hampshiresheen Danish Oil, then I added a coat of our own homemade cold-pressed linseed oil/local beeswax, which smells fabulous! I got the blank from @wphardwoodltd. #WoodyNess #WoodenHomeDecor #WoodenGift #WoodenGifts #HandmadeGifts #MadeInTheHighlands #MadeInScotland #UniqueGiftIdeas #UniqueGift #Homedecor #SpecialSomething #SomethingSpecial #WoodturnedBowl #IMadeThis #SlowMadeGoods #WoodTurningArt ##WoodturnersOfIG #HandCrafted #WoodturnedBowl #Woodturner #WoodenBowl #Handmade #MakersGonnaMake #Tableware #ShopScotland #WoodenFruitBowl #FruitBowl

Elm Burr Pedestal Platter - 12 inch This is another reworking of an older piece. I added the pedestal to raise the platter up so the underside would be more visible. I used some 'aether' chameleon pigment from @thetinyturner thinking that the gnarly texture of the burr would be an ideal base to show how these pigments shift colour depending on the viewing angle. I rough textured the pedestal (also elm) and part of the base to try to give the impression of the effect spreading from base to pedestal to bowl. The bowl and the naked elm of the pedestal are finished with @chestnutproducts carnauba wax.

8 x 1.5 inch textured elm bowl. This was a do-over of a bowl I originally turned sometime in 2020. The rim was decorated with a crackle effect design, but the colours were...challenging to the eye. I re-turned the rim, divided it into quadrants, and used my @dremel_global handpiece and a couple of @duragrit burs to create the textures. It's finished with @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and @chestnutproducts carnauba wax #WoodturnersOfIG #WoodturnedBowl #ByMyHand #SlowmadeGoods #WoodenDecor #WoodyNess #WoodenHomeDecor #WoodenBowl #WoodenGift #WoodenGifts #HandmadeGifts #MadeInTheHighlands #MadeInScotland #UniqueGiftIdeas #UniqueGift #Woodurner #SpecialGift #specialgiftideas #bowl #woodenbowl #IMadeThis #WoodturnedBowls #Woodturning_Happy #HomeAccessories #HomeDecor #TexturedWood #Tactile #CarvedBowl

Hello 2024! Here is a collage of a few of our favs from the past 12 months. Looking over the content, what jumps out at me is that it's been a year of trying different projects, with much more turning between centres than the predominantly faceplate work of 2022. Hopefully, I can still recall how to make bowls! In April, it'll be 2 years since we turned my hobby into a wee side hustle. There have been the inevitable ups and downs, and we're still navigating how best to promote ourselves. What's been a constant is the feeling of goodwill and encouragement on IG, and we thank everyone for that, it does keep us going.   If you are interested in keeping up to date with WoodyNess shenanigans and exclusive subscriber discounts, then please sign up to our newsletter via the website.

Pink oak snowman with his wee pet cat! They're both sporting scarves crocheted by my better half @heninaglen, the hat is purple heart. The cat tail is recycled copper wire, again made by @heninaglen. Finished in @chestnutproducts carnauba wax. My first time working with pink oak, and it was a joy. Clean cutting and finishes beautifully.

Birch Vase, from a gnarly log in the workshop that I've been giving the side-eye for a while, too scared to tackle. Twas a swine, but the figuring makes it worth it. The copper wire staples were a late addition, but I think they work. #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodyness #woodengift #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegift #specialgift #sustainableproducts #sustainablecraft #twigpots #vases #shopscotland #twigpot #woodenhomedecor #woodinterior #britishcraft #woodturnersofig #instahome #oak #woodenvase #woodcraft #woodturning #woodturner

Chequered Lighthoose. Another inclusion in the WoodyNess 'Hoose' Collection, sent to @friendsofhighlandtidedesigns in August to sell in her wonderful shop. The Lighthoose is birch, the base spalted birch and the wee hooses are lime. Decorated with pyrography, Indian ink, and Posca pens. Finished in @chestnutproducts satin lacquer and @hampshiresheen Danish Oil. #woodyness #lighthouse_lovers #lighthouse #lighthousesofinstagram #woodynesshoosecollection #woodturnersofig #slowmadegoods #scrapwoodproject #woodturning #woodturner #sustainable #sustainableproducts #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodengift #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegift #specialgift #imadethis #spaltedwood #spaltedbeech

More Shrooms on deer antler stems...and a cat... Those on the left are painted with @jo_sonjas_ukshop acrylics, decorated with raised spots and sealed with @chestnutproducts satin lacquer. The shrooms on the right have spalted birch caps, displaying their own natural decoration. They are finished with @hampshiresheen Danish Oil, with carnauba wax over. Both sets of shrooms will be available at our pop-up shop from tomorrow @drumfarmgallerygiftshop. If you're in the area, we would love for you to pop in for a lookysee. The cat is doing what cats do best!😺💤💤 #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgiftideas #imadethis #woodturning_happy #homedecor #recycledwood #scrapwoodproject #fungilove #mushroomart #fungifanatic #fungi #quirkygifts #fungusart #mushroomsofinstagram #shroomart #shrooms

A couple of Oak log vases. The one on the left measures 7x4 inches and can take dry or fresh flowers as it can accommodate a glass tube. The right one measures 6x4 inches and is purely for a dried arrangement. The logs both split during the drying process and I've highlighted the defects with recycled copper wire. I love the contrast between heart and sapwood. Finished in @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and @chestnutproducts Carnauba wax. Both will be available to buy from our pop-up shop @drumfarmgallerygiftshop on Monday 21st August. #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodyness #woodengift #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegift #specialgift #sustainableproducts #sustainablecraft #recycledwood #reclaimedwood #oldtimber #oldwood #recycledwoodcreations #twigpots #vases #budvase #twigpot #woodenhomedecor #woodinterior #britishcraft #woodturnersofig #instahome #oak #woodenvase #woodcraft #woodturning #woodturner

The WoodyNess Pop-Up Shop will be at the @drumfarmgallerygiftshop on Wednesday 2nd August, where you will find this WoodyNess Collection piece alongside many of our other creations. The 10 inch, flamed beech, pedestal fruit bowl is textured using my @dremel and @kutzall burs, then painted with @jo_sonjas_ukshop Deep Pond and Copper acrylic paints. The pedestal is made up of three pieces- birch, beech and sycamore. It's all glued with @starbondadhesives from @wood_and_metal_supplies. @chestnutproducts satin lacquer protects the paint, the bare wood is finished with carnauba wax. The apples are from the supermarket....🙄 #woodturnersofig #woodturnedbowl #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodenbowl #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #bowl #woodenbowl #imadethis #woodturnedbowls #woodturning_happy #centrepiece #homeaccessories #homedecor #texturedwood #carvedbowl #pedestalbowl #fruitbowl #woodynesscollection

Ash, 7 x 1.5 inches. Depicting the Glenfinnan Viaduct in the West Highlands. Another pyrography image where I've tried to use the grain to compliment an image. This one took a wee while to figure out, and I've tried to make it look as 3D as I could. The open grain of ash is not the ideal partner for burning smaller details... I used my trusty @razertip for the burnage and @hampshiresheen Danish Oil to finish. The bowl will be available in our Pop-Shop @drumfarmgallerygiftshop on Monday 24th July. Hen will be taking care of that, and she would love to see you there. The blank was purchased as usual from @wphardwoodltd 👍🏼. #woodturnersofig #woodturnedbowl #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodenbowl #woodengift #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #bowl #woodenbowl #imadethis #woodturnedbowls #woodturning_happy #pyrographyart #pyrography #artonwood #woodtherapy #glenfinnanviaduct #pyrographersofinstagram #glenfinnan #steamtrain #woodynesscollection

'Shroom Post Office'. Latest addition to the WoodyNess Hoose Collection. This is the most detailed Hoose so far, taking upwards of 10 hours to make, featuring hand and power-carved elements, pyrography, the use of acrylics and Indian inks. I've added details like the grain and knot patterns on the door, the door handle, the textured fencing and the minature turned shrub pots with lichen bushes. The hand-carved wee black and white cat, which I thought would be a quick job, turned into a looooong session punctuated by expletives... Shroom Post Office would make a unique gift, heirloom, or collectable piece and is available now on our website, click link in photo to take a lookysee. @razertip, @kirschen.werkzeuge, @faber-castell, @jo_sonjas_ukshop, @wood_and_metal_supplies, @chestnutproducts, and @hampshiresheen products were all utilitized in this piece. #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodyness #woodengift #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegift #specialgift #imadethis #heirloomgift #woodturnersofig #woodturnedmushrooms #fairytalehouse #scrapwoodproject #mushroomhouse #hobbithouse #sustainablecraft #fungifanatic #fungilove #woodturnersofinstagram #trysomethingnew #homedecor #woodturner #sustainable #shroomart #woodynessshroomcollection #woodynesshoosecollection

Three more shrooms! Tops are all some wood or other....🙄. The stalks are deer antler, for which I must shout out @deeproots77 whose striking antler-stalked shrooms were the inspiration for these. The base is elm burr off-cut, the colouring @jo_sonjas_ukshop acrylics, celadon, purple madder and red violet. There's a wee bit of pyrography to create the gills. @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and @chestnutproducts satin lacquer to seal. #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgiftideas #imadethis #woodturning_happy #homedecor #recycledwood #scrapwoodproject #fungilove #mushroomart #fungifanatic #fungi #quirkygifts #fungusart #mushroomsofinstagram

Olive ash, depicting two red deer stags fighting for dominance. Measures 10x2 inches. This bowl is a reworking of a previous piece I called 'Paddy Fields'. I was never really that keen on it, so I sanded it back and started over. Used my trusty @razertip SK for the pyro. @hampshiresheen Danish Oil to finish. @wphardwoodltd was the supplier of the blank. #woodynesscollection #woodturnedbowl #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodenbowl #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #bowl #woodenbowl #imadethis #woodturnedbowls #woodturning_happy #pyrographyart #pyrography #artonwood #woodtherapy #reddeer #deer #reddeerstag #ruttingdeer

Decided to make a few more decorated trinket pots. Elm, olive ash and beech. Measuring 4x3 inches. The paints are from @montanacansuk, the 'sgraffito' effect done using @dremel and @kutzall burs. Orange and turquoise pots are finished with @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and @chestnutproducts satin lacquer. Pink pot is finished with Odies Oil @odiesoil.uk and satin lacquer. Blanks all from @wphardwoodltd. #woodturnersofig #woodturnedbowl #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodenbowl #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #bowl #woodenbowl #imadethis #woodturnedbowls #woodturning_happy #woodturnersofinstagram #homeaccessories #homedecor

More-shrooms...🫣🙄 A selection of shrooms made from odds n' ends from the wood pile. Variously hand-carved using @kirschen.werkzeuge chisels and gouges and power-carved with @dremel and @kutzall burs. Coloured with my favourite acrylics from @jo_sonjas_ukshop.

My father passed in the early hours of May 31st, on his 91st birthday. A true character, lover of company, head full of hair-brained ideas, always tried to do the right thing for us even though we may not have appreciated it at the time. This photo, with my son, at the piano is one of my favourites of him, holding court and trying to pass on some wisdom. He will be sorely missed.

I've been at it again.... added to the WoodyNess Hoose Collection with this, 'Lightshroom Lighthoose'. Another epic, for me anyway, taking 10+ hours... maybe need to speed up a wee bit, and that doesn't include the time Hen spent crafting the wire guard rails at the top. Made from a variety of bits from the pile I have in the workshop, yew, birch, cocktail sticks and lolly sticks. @wood_and_metal_supplies Starbond CA, @kirschen.werkzeuge chisels, @jo_sonjas_ukshop acrylics, @fabercastellglobal Indian ink pens, @razertip SK pyro unit, @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and finally, @chestnutproducts satin lacquer all used to create this piece. #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegift #woodturner #imadethis #woodturning_happy #scrapwoodproject #homedecor #recycledwood #scrapwoodproject #woodturnersofinstagram #trysomethingnew #sustainablecraft #lighthouse_lovers #lighthouse #lighthousesofinstagram #woodynesshoosecollection

WoodyNess Pop-up Shop @drumfarmgallerygiftshop in Drumnadrochit today. Alongside other local makers @kpriceart, Mac Soap, Leavesandlichen @purplebugcrafts Come take a lookysee!

Spalted beech smiley-face yarn bowl. I noticed that the flamed grain pattern resembled a smiley mouth, so I've tried to make the yarn feed look like a nose and two wee eyes. I felt it also needed a hat.

'Shroomhoose' I think I might be losing the plot... I'm really enjoying making these wee mushroom jobbies even though they are taking me in excess of 8 hours to finish. The hoose is made from a random log. The chimney, the wee step, the sill of the round window, the sign, and the 'pond' border are all from scraps, barbecue skewers, and/or cocktail sticks. There's some pyro, some @jo_sonjas_ukshop paints, and some @fabercastellglobal PITT pens to decorate. Also added a wee bit of hand carving with @kirschen.werkzeuge gouges. #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgiftideas #imadethis #woodturning_happy #scrapwoodproject #homedecor #recycledwood #hobbithouse #fairytalehouse #mushroomhouse #scrapwoodproject #woodturnersofinstagram #fungifanatic #fungilove #trysomethingnew #sustainablecraft #woodynesshoosecollection

Paw Print Yarn Bowl. Spalted Beech, measures 6x4 inches. I've been working on a few yarn bowls lately, and I was especially pleased with this one. @dremel handpiece was used to create the yarn-feed holes, @razertip tools SK unit for the pyro'd paw trail. @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and @chestnutproducts buff/wax to finish. @wphardwoodltd was where I sourced the beautiful blank. #woodturnersofig #woodturnedbowl #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodyness #woodenbowl #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #bowl #woodenbowl #imadethis #yarnbowl #yarnbowls #spaltedwood #spaltedbeech #pawprint #knittingaccessories #yarnlovers #yarnloversofinstagram #knittingnotions #knittingbowl #crochetaddict #crochetnotions

Scrapwood Mushroom Manor! This is a bit of a departure from my usual fair, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this wee...thing. This wee hoose started off as a scrap wood log, which I was gonna turn into a darning mushroom. The piece was too small, so the plan morphed into a fungal hoose with a scalloped roof. The colour and chimney followed, and I mounted it on the piece of birch, but it looked lonely. Sooooo, I added the door, a wee doorknob, some crazy paving, the well and two plant pots. The 'shrubs' are lichen... I was getting a bit carried away and had to be stopped before adding a greenhouse, a hobbit, a corner shop, and a cafe. The colours are @jo_sonjas_ukshop Deep Pond and Raw Umber for the roof. The rest are @fabercastellglobal PITT indian ink pens of various colours. The carving is with @flexcut.tools and @kirschen.werkzeuge tools. #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgiftideas #imadethis #woodturning_happy #homeaccessories #homedecor #recycledwood #hobbithouse #fairytalehouse #mushroomhouse #scrapwoodproject #woodentoadstools #woodturnedmushrooms

Laburnum ring and jewellery box (and a lounging Bengal cat named Azrael - final pic!) Measures about 6 x 3.5 inches. I was kindly gifted some laburnum a few years ago by a neighbour. I was slow to process and seal the wood so much of it split. Consequently, the majority of it is gonna have to go towards spindles blanks. However, I was able to salvage a little bit and set about making a jewellery box as a birthday gift for a close relative. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out as boxes are not something that I have much experience turning. @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and carnacrystalline to finish. #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodyness #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #imadethis #woodturning_happy #tactile #jewellerybox #ringbox #woodturnersofinstagram #woodturned #trinketbox #trinketboxes #heirloomgift #practicalgifts #madewithlove

Cherry wood pedestal fruit bowl. 9 x 7 inches This was made for my wife to replace one we sold last year at a craft fair. That particular bowl was being used to display snowmen Christmas tree decorations. A customer asked to buy it and well, it now has a new home. The outer was hand-carved using @kirschen.werkzeuge chisels, the decor is @jo_sonjas_ukshop Stillwater, Amethyst and Smoked Pearl acrylic paints, which are sealed with @chestnutproducts satin lacquer. The inner bowl is finished in @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and carnauba wax. #woodturnersofig #woodturnedbowl #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodenbowl #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #bowl #imadethis #woodturnedbowls #woodturning_happy #centrepiece #homeaccessories #homedecor #texturedwood #tactile #carvedbowl #pedestalbowl #fruitbowl

Quartet of shawl pins and rings made from walnut and olive ash, respectively. I'm trying to diversify and make items I've never tried before. My other half, @heninaglen, was the inspiration for these particular pieces. The rings are approx 3.5 inches across, and the walnut pins roughly 5.5 inches. All are finished by buffing and coating with carnauba wax on the @chestnutproducts buffing wheel kit. The blank was purchased from @wphardwoodltd, many thanks. #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodyness #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #imadethis #woodturning_happy #shawlpin #shawlpins #shawlpinstyle #wearart #woodenshawlpin #woodenhairpins

12 inch Elm Burl platter. The blank was harvested from a large elm burl from @wphardwoodltd. I love the chaotic appearance of the grain, reminding me of peering into a microscope and trying to make sense of histology slides when I was a student. The selective green highlights are Jacqard Lumiere emerald green acrylic paint. The finish is @hampshiresheen Danish Oil and @chestnutproducts Carnauba wax. #woodturnersofig #woodturnedbowl #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodendecor #woodyness #woodenhomedecor #woodenbowl #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegiftideas #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #specialgiftideas #bowl #woodenbowl #imadethis #woodturnedbowls #woodturning_happy #centrepiece #homeaccessories #homedecor #woodburl #burl #heirloomgift

Wee oak quaich. The bowl measures 4 x 1.5 inches. The handles feature pyrographed Celtic knotwork, done with my beloved @razertip SK unit. @hampshiresheen Danish Oil, buffed with @chestnutproducts buffing kit. The blank was from @wphardwoodltd.

REPOST FROM @heninaglen - I'm a huge fan of repurposing materials and find it hard to resist a Fence Post Twig Pot. This rustic pot was the result of a collaboration with the extraordinarily talented @woody_ness . The fence post had quite significant 'characterful' cracks from where a nail or fencing wire had gone through it. My task was to reinforce the post and add some decorative detail using, of course, repurposed electrical cables. The warm tones of copper and worn wood work so well together. Rather than just wrapping the wire in a coil around the post I decided to take a more organic approach as I envisaged vines growing out of cracks. I used features on the post to guide and support the wires as I wove them around the pot. All the wires have been entwined to create a stable and intriguing piece of art. This piece and other wireless Fence Post Pots are available to purchase online via @woody_ness Instagram page where you can find plenty of special unique gifts, perfect for Mother's Day. Happy Fence Post Friday! #handcraftedbyheninaglen #woodyness #fencepostfriday #fencepost #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #recycledwood #reclaimedwood #oldwood #oldtimber #recycledwoodcreations #uniquegiftideas #mothersday #motherdaygift #woodinterior #woodenhomedecor #twigpot #twigpots #vases #britishcraft #instahome #interiordecor #interiorinspiration #handmadegifts #specialgift #slowmadegoods #bymyhand #wireartist #reclaimedwire #wireweaving

A couple of spoons I'd forgotten about. I visited my parents this week and noticed these two I made a few years ago, sitting in and amongst my mother's 'collection' of ornaments. The knotted spoon is sweet chestnut (I think it looks too dark for ash...?) and the treble clef is sycamore. Both finished in @hampshiresheen Danish Oil. The blanks were from @englishwoodsupplies. #woodyness #spooncarving #woodenspooncarving #woodenspoon #woodenspoons #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #handcarvedwood #woodcarversofinstagram #carvedwood #madewithlove #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland

I turned this hatstand for my wife's friend @blackisleyarns who exhibits samples made from her yarn at yarn festivals. Her previous hatstand was an upturned bowl balanced on a wooden kitchen roll holder. My wife thought her friend might appreciate a WoodyNess creation. Turned from locally sourced birch, with an offcut of elm burr to cover the mounting recess. I thought this would fit perfectly into @a_woodworkers_son_ @dremel_uk February challenge 'turn something for someone else'. The stands are dressed with hats created by @heninaglen who liked the hatstand so much I had to turn one for her too. #instawoodturningclub #woodturnersofig #bymyhand #slowmadegoods #woodyness #woodengift #woodengifts #handmadegifts #madeinthehighlands #madeinscotland #uniquegift #woodturner #specialgift #imadethis #woodturning_happy #hatstand #hatstands #hatblocks #hatform #woodenhatblocks #hatdisplaystands #woodenhatstand #woodenhatstands
