Happy Solstice 2025 good friends all!

Time again to turn and burn the wheel,
Shoot out the old year,
And call the return of the beautiful sun.

Have a great Yuletide and Christmas!

Ive had a brief break from metalsmithing to dally with my first love of sculpting wood!

The Greystoke Knight dates to circa 1480, and is a rare Image of a Border Knight.
The original carving can be found in the Museum, we like the image so much we decided to use it for the Museum sign.

Ill post again shortly when i get the time - the Knight opens a whole avenue of interesting discussion - although carved in 1480, he wears a unique transitional Great Basinet of an older form, of about 1420.

Thanks to Kathryn Tickell for her fantastic and inspiring Highway to Hermitage in the video - i listened to this on repeat while carving the Knight, imaging him thundering over the highways and byways o' the Borders!
