This stand for the cleaver goes really well with the butchers block. 
We picked up the cleaver at Royal Cornwall Show last month - it's a really old Sheffield Steel one, with hand turned wooden handle. It was pretty rough in condition when we bought it but it's cleaned up beautifully and has a lovely weight and feel to it. Anthony made the stand from an old pallet.
This is my bread bin. It's a great size and really sturdy. My home-made bread stays fresh for ages in this.
And this is my trug. There are more of these already made but this is my one - I refuse to let this one go! It's already been used to carry bread rolls to a BBQ on the beach, and to take a picnic onto the moors. I love it. Again it's all made out of recycled bits of scrap wood and like the others treated with olive oil (but I'll let Anthony tell you more about the process side of this!).

When it's got worms in, I'll show you my birthday wormery as well. :-)

Have you ever considered selling any of this stuff? You obviously have a knack - that's you Anthony; not Sonia ...... :-)

Hi Alex n Rik,
ReplyDeleteCheers for the compliment! Im going to start selling my stuff as we are running out of room to store it all! It started as a hobby but looks like it might grow into a nice sideline and who knows one day maybe a full time profession! :)
