My lifelong love of woodwork as a working diary. My work Icon board making, gessoing, cabinet and church furniture making.

Spending the day with my-dad-the-cabinet-maker.
This is a prototype of an icon he's making. The final cross will measure 3m high, weigh 250kg & be painted by the Orthodox Icon School in Bethlehem. It will hang above @LichfieldCath's altar for 500 years

Back to Blighty this weekend to walk the Long Mynd with my Dad and brother.
I was raised on this perfect English hill, but strangely it's the first time just the trio of us have climbed together.
Marvellous weather for it ❄️☃️❄️

Our earthly life is a journey full of hopes and disappointments, greetings and farewells, but certainly without any going back. The mystery of the journey is that we don’t know when we and our fellow travelers will finally disembark.
