The result of all that leaf spring cutting and log splitting are a bunch of childrens rattles all made from plum wood from my garden and coated with Danish oil (non-toxic and child friendly). They were turned when the wood was green and have been slowly drying out in my cellar... they all have individual sounds... not just for children but they make great little percussive shakers too. You can take them to your local jam session and annoy everyone :-)
Im also making a couple of extra cute coffee can soprano ukes using these lovely old coffee tins.
They will be for sale for £200.
Im also about to start on a tin can tenor uke and a 3string CBG with some extra fancy carving... providing i don't cock it up... below are pictures of the beginnings of the CBG
