Chris Parker’s demonstration today, Saturday 18th March, was excellent and very different to any previous demonstrators. His use of shape, texture and colour has inspired us to step up and try something new and adventurous. Although he used several tools we are familiar with there were several which were new to us, especially his negative rake scrapers and bespoke tenon cutter.

During his demo he also used a couple of sanding arbours which gave more precision and can be purchased from Chris via his web site shopping page.

I would encourage you to give these a try, and it would not be right to say they are better than other makes, some of which are very familiar to us, but they can perform in a way that is very controllable and less likely to damage previously cut sharp edges.
