These were going spare. At the bottom of the hill of course…

So I ‘simply’ wheeled one up the hill to the car park

Where is ‘easily’ rolled up the slope into the boot

And was driven home and unloaded

Now while my back recovers I have to decide what I am actually going to do with it. I was thinking of trying some high relief engraving as it is a nice thick slice but not sure of what.
They dont and it belongs to someone else. Why do people think anything in the countryside is theirs for free? Happens here all the time people rock up and help themselves

Apparently they are being left in the woods in piles to form ‘wildlife hotels’ as they rot down. The bloke I spoke to said that the ‘hotel’ wouldn’t miss one slice but asked me not to take the lot.
On a public forum it might have been prudent to point out that you had permission as anyone might now look at your post and think it’s alright to go and take stuff for free, unless they happen to read every comment and catch the one where you point out that you had permission.
Apologies for sounding like an old fart, but people really should think a bit more, given the general ‘don’t give a sh!t / I’ll do what I want attitude’ of so many people these days, posts like this really don’t help in my mind.
I’m surprised noone has torn a strip off you for leaving your car door open across a parking line, they’ve had a go at you for everything else! All a bit crazy!
Ignore them, you’ll get some sensible answers in amongst the whining 🙂
My first attempt at carving using a router. Noisy and slow. The viens in the lower leaf were added afterwards with a dremel to see if it was any better, it wasn’t.

Also very difficult to keep the router straight and level once you have carved away a layer. I know the stuff above is quick and rough but I am not sure it would get much better taking it more slowly, especially as I would be carving end grain.
Anyone got any experience of using a router to carve?
Also, just because you all wanted to see, yes, routers are sharp and potentially dangerous so make sure you move your fingers quickly.
