Potential Stars Waiting To be Born.

A little outbuilding is in a small holding next door to us. There are a few goodies with potential inside. The owner of the holding has gifted these potentials to me. So, here’s what I see; I see a few pieces of naturally formed ornamental furniture, with a bit of tickling and teasing here & there of course.

Photos below... I have used one of my old bench planes and mallets for scaling purposes. Comments on the rusty plane will be ignored, thank you . I’m unsure on the species. It’s all weighty, dense and lovely. Any ideas will be kindly received.

Photo #2 shows a good sized burr. I’m thinking a low standing three-legged display table showing off a hopeful exquisite figure of loveliness. Or maybe not. Maybe something entirely different with an obscure purpose.

I’m seeing photo #3 as a display case for my growing collection of automatic timepieces. Mrs P might have something to say about that, but you know how it chaps, we must stand firm at times.

Photo #4 is screaming out to be an ornamental mountain scene of lustrous glow.

The other larger pieces have a mix of potentials lurking in the shadows in anticipation of becoming a newly born star. I can feel that photos #5, 6 & 7 combined wants to stand with definite posture as an oversized ornamental display of some kind.

Your thoughts / ideas are welcome.

That’s all folks!

PS: Merlin says "Hello!"

Ok, sometimes fate works properly and now those great hunks of old timber, that have just been slumbering quietly, will awake at the arrival of a woodcarving wizard!
