Any sale from the shop before the end of the month, I'll throw in this large letter I. That's eye not ell. Obvs. One only. Stone about 20 x 10 x 3 cms.

This photo has it all: silver, hand carved #lettering on stone, candlelight, furniture by Andrew Varah, a bottle of Burgundy AND two cats.

As you know I don't do commissions. Because I don't care what you want. However, without mentioning the C word, you might need some curses before the C word comes along. Possibly even the C word. If you need some swears which are not currently in the shop, ring my bell.

Just keep it there will you. Ashbourne has a biting, thin wind but as yet no precipitation. OK, so it can be picturesque, but stone the crows...

FECK is in the shop: www.poorfrankraw.co.uk/shop/index.h...

£125 UK delivered. I won't be repeating this style - bit of a mare to carve - though there may be more fecks in the fecking future.

Carving Birra Lambic (www.commarts.com/project/3371...) is proving challenging. The thicks are very thick, the thins have teeny weeny triangular terminals and the curves are very tight. Looks good but I'm glad I picked a short swear 😬
