It's taken a long time, but we finally have a shop open at www.jonbayescarving.co.uk. There will be carving for sale, and the main access point to courses on there.
Taster courses; try before you commit. Pop in to the shop and sample our wares!
The shop should become more populated in the coming weeks.
I decided to move up a size on the side axe, for these wider panels today. I handled it ages ago, but forgot that I had smoothed the new handle, so I was able to go straight at it.
I was a bit concerned that I had put too much offset into the handle, but it worked beautifully and made short work of rough flattening the board.
Then onto the bench for scrub plane and then jointer.
A stubborn low point persisted; but that's what smoothing planes are for. Lovely big panel.
