I started woodworking when my partner and I found a forked staff that looked like a bull. Unfortunately the staff was riddled with termites, but it did lead me on to making other things. I started learning how to make to wands, which led me to researching trees; their magical width:200px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://pic1.picturetrail.com/VOL1146/4607092/9659202/169802157.jpg" border="0" alt=" />"Hail to thee, O [tree]!
Old Lady, give me of this wood,
And I will give thee some of mine,
When I grow into a tree.
Send the power into this branch,
That thy strength will flow through it
For the good of allKa!
Old Lady [tree]!
Accept my thanks
For thy power in this branch.
That its power there will remain,
Working for the good of all.

On the top left is a picture of my workshop, you can't see all the different woods I have strewn about, but there are quite a few. I work with all types of woods, my absolute favourite magical woods to craft with are Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Rowan and Alder. After much experimentation, trial & error I now know what I am capable of crafting and what I am not. I love making rune sets, wands, besoms and altar pentacles. The harder things to make are pendulums and athames - but the results are always worth it! I like to work with very few tools, all I have is a dremel and a saw. I'm also very to happy to say my parter just gave me some lovely woodcarving tools I've yet to test out. They're exquisite - I finally have a plane!
At the beginning of July 2006 I opened an Ebay Store, also called CUNNING ART WOODCRAFTS, where I sell my woodcrafting creations as well as herbs, charms, and spell tools - all handcrafted. Thanks to the Ebay store I've gotten many custom requests from clients that wish for more personalized ritual tools. It's been a wonderful experience so far and I hope my little business keeps growing. I hope to keep exanding on this blog - giving examples of the process of making tools, the meanings behind each ritual item, as well as going over the magical properties and uses for sacred trees. Blessings, Lolair
