Creating hazel Wands for a Harry Potter fan
The invitation to a confirmation party for a young Harry Potter enthusiast set us on a delightful quest—to craft a gift that would resonate with the magic of the wizarding world. We turned our creative attention to fashioning wands - Settling on the sturdy and trusty hazel wood, we crafted a wand with a core suitable for embedding 'magical' components.
Whittling a Hazel Longsword for Bear
In our woodland garden, Bear's imaginative adventures have led us to craft a special addition to his armory—a dual-handed longsword whittled from a sturdy hazel branch. Guided by the natural lines of the bark, we shaped a blade fit for a young warrior. Designed with a detachable guard, this sword is not only a testament to Bear's valor but also to nature's bounty, ready to be mended or remade as adventures demand.
The Craft of Whittling Our Wooden Spoons
In the embrace of winter's chill, our hearth becomes the cradle for whittling rustic spoons from our woodpile's treasures. Each spoon, from the hazel to the cherry, is whittled by hand, no machines, just knives and the wood guiding us to reveal its hidden charm.
A whittled wooden knife for our Youngest Chef
Nestled within the daily rhythm of tending to our wood stove lies an opportunity for creativity—a chance to transform a simple beech log destined for kindling into something more, something special. Today, we found such a piece, one that whispered the potential of becoming more than just a spark for our fire.
