The Conker Tree

A gestalt entity formed by a needle felter and a woodworker trying to set up our own wee cottage industry. Tweets mainly by the felter :D

Hi! We're a husband and wife team in Scotland's Central Belt, near the Kelpies. We love nature and incorporate it into our work. We like a chat and craic so feel free to say hi :) Check out our etsy shop for wooden homeware and needlefelted goodies https://t.co/GT2qJybMlY

First time trying @SiMacKPhoto method of holding wood to the bench. Worked very well.

These drawings are available as high quality prints, inspired by beautiful British woodland. They’d make a perfect gift for a lover of forests and nature walks. https://t.co/fSFodZmY4S #HandmadeHour

My alter ego's been tweeting about my eating spoons.
I'll be listing them before too long but feel free to check out my salt spoons and incense holders in my Etsy shop. #HandmadeHour

Since my real porridge adventure started I realised I needed quality eating spoons. The one on the right is oak and had a small beheading incident, now glued. The two on the left are pear. The other is a walnut olive spoon, another wee project I've been working on.

@sakurainthedark Good article about it here, actually. Sounds quite a mess.

It looks like by far the simplest way to do it for now is to use Etsy or Click and Drop. FWIW, I changed to C&D just before xmas and found it pretty good.

For anyone headscratching over the IOSS number thing from Etsy, this is from Royal Mail:

"If your marketplace is integrated with Click & Drop (Amazon, eBay, ETSY, NOTHS), you don’t need to do anything as the IOSS number will be automatically populated."

@sakurainthedark I think Post Office would be the ones to pressure for this facility if that's where you buy postage. They need to get with the times or you'll have no real choice but to buy from Royal Mail/Etsy.

Course I'm going to forget the link amn't I?

Here is the link to the article: Scroll down about halfway to the bolded title:

"How do I add my IOSS number with Click & Drop?"

2nd bullet point.
