Not my design but Colwin Way's published in the Woodturner magazine. The family wanted some so I cheated by using the ones in the magazine

They look really good, I'm sure that Colwin would be pleased that a reader has made such a good effort.

Thank you John, Ed, Dave and Andy. Just noticed that Axminster at Sittingbourne are doing a two day course in making these with Colwin Way at £225 for two days

I've always loved these from when I used to see them in German shops when I was posted over there in the Army.

I even know a few people who collect them and these look just right.
