Things i makeA few pieces made on, or have that been inspired by the moor.
Carving, art, useful things etc. I'm a collector of interesting found objects, stone and wood and have spent 20 years involved in tree work so have a wonderful selection of dried timber and branches from aesthetic and historic trees ive dealt with. |

In 2018 an old Sycamore tree that had become dangerous had to be felled at the Bronte Parsonage and St Michaels church in Haworth.
I was fortunate enough to be given permission to remove the wood which has been drying slowly in my workshop ever since. These are just a couple of pieces ive made to sell and as gifts.

Pagan moon calendar
|
Each year i make one of these to help keep me in step with the natural cycle of the year using the phases of the moon as markers. Every line is the beginning of a lunar month and starts with the new moon. The full moons follow a central line down the calendar. Ive kept the months and dates so as not to get too confusing and have included the main pagan observances marked with symbols. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/nuumuun |
