A few years back I took part in a project where poets and crafts people teamed up to be inspired from each others work. I make the round table in sycamore which was inspired from a line in a poem about hollow boilersuits flaping on a clothes line. I developed a way to stop natural shaped logs from spliting by drilling through the centre of the log and therefore helping the wood to dry more evenly. It means that the smaller sections of timber found in Shetland could be used in furniture and not just for firewood.
