This wood is harder than the pewter! The wood makes the absolute best coals for a braai which has resulted in it recently being declared a protected tree as a result of overexploitation.

Very nice - I especially like the taller vessel.
Do you do the pewter work ("white smithing" ?) yourself?
OK, enough blog reading - time to get downstairs to my own lathe!
Thanks TJIC,
Yes I do all the pewter work myself. Embossing and applying patinas to the sheet pewter and casting, turning and applying patinas to the cast pewter pieces.
