Wimpole Scything festival 22/23^rd June at Wimpole Hall Cambs.

What a great idea – table full of wood samples – clearly marked.

This group really understand how to engage with their public.

 

I think this may have been Tim Ratcliff’s spouse having a go a fan bird making.

David Owen doing everything as usual - here demonstrating Elm bark seating.

These machines are a work of art.

Loads of colorful samples.

The man himself - John Flaherty  tool collector and currently collecting sock making machines!

His socks are getting longer and longer.

I was busy adzing an interesting piece of Sycamore all day Sunday. This year they held the event next to the Hall - made such a  difference, plenty of public.
