osage knitting needles
Given that knitting is a traditional craft making the needles must qualify. As the weekend was busy with sport and the wife's birthday I didnt make progress on the two bows I have going - both takedowns. However I have bits of osage from off cuts and decided to make the missus something from the yaller wood. I made a dowel cutting jig first and here is where we are up to - and the needles have been treated with a baltic pine stain. Brings the grain out nicely

Now that is different! When you make further progress mate can you please place something in the photos for scale as they appear rather large in the above photos?

Sure thing Jeff. Actually those needles are about 5mm which apparently does nicely for scarves and a tad shorter than standard ones.

Hunting trip credits my colleagues....hunting trip credits. Also a perfect answer to the perennial question:
"what have been doing out in the shed?"
"Making these for you my dear...."
Thank you linesmen etc
