Making stuff for fun, for family and for friends. Flax Country Workshop was born out of the enjoyment of making stuff. A personal touch from me.
Skills learnt by doing; doing it wrong and doing it again, DIY, fixing things and just giving it a go.

I've been terribly hopeless at adding bits to here of late.
Here's a kind of first tho....I've never done a Charcuterie Board. This one turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself.
Recycled Rimu with Acacia accent strips, finished with the homemade board butter.
Commissioned for a 60th Birthday. Enjoy.

These are from the, "hey can you make these?" file.
Something super simple but I felt the pain when told, this shape wooden spoon is pretty hard to find. Its definitely my favorite shape wooden spoon. So why not make it out of Rimu!!

Real life has a good knack of getting in the way and not letting me get out to the workshop for some making "stuff" time.
So it was good to get some forced time out there, to make something for our local schools fundraiser.
Enjoy, whoever ends up with this.

Flax Country Workshop only played a small part in this piece - crafting the board. The rest was done by Seanna and The Eclectic Flower.
The end result looks pretty smart.
