Eucalyptus root stand

Eucalyptus

Swindon club member Kit has been very busy recently, he has been whittling these beautifully crafted root stands. I have always adored these unique pieces of craftsmanship; you won’t often find these stands available through retailers as they just aren’t commercially viable to produce because of the investment of time it takes to produce each and the return on this. This only makes them more alluring.

So you can see the final product is great, but the process is always just as interesting for me. Kit took some photos as he was developing the stands, mistakes are part of the process sometimes. See if you can work out which bit Kit removed unintentionally.

Safety first, always
