Getting new stock ready

14/5/2017

Well, the second weekend of the Open House has ended.  We had our private view on Saturday as well, which was great. I was lucky enough to have family and friends ready to part with cash to buy bowls and platters, which was also great - thank you family and friends!

Earlier in the day I managed to get this bowl completed, going from its unfinished state on the left to the finished one on the right.

I decided to try a colour in the bowl as well, which obviously spoke to someone, as it was the first thing I sold on Saturday.  There is blue in the colours mixed on the rim and the bright blue in the bowl itself helps to bring this out.

There's been a huge jump in my Youtube subscribers as well, since Mike Waldt's shout out on Friday - about 90 new subscribers, more than doubling what I had previously!  Thank you again, Mike - and thanks to all my subscribers, old and new! I've just posted my latest video as well, showing how I decorated this platter.

The next few weeks will have to be dedicated to getting more stock done. 

If you weren't able to make it to the Open House (there are still two weekends left and 7 bowls still for sale), I'll be showing work at Parham House on the 8th and 9th of July at their Parham Garden Weekend.  Since starting experimenting with colour at the start of this year, my woodturning exposure has really taken off!  Thanks to everyone who has given me encouragement and support to take this beyond a hobby.
