Yesterday after messaging Scotsman on lumberjocks I decided that it was time for me to try my hand at turning. I have avoided this do to my muscle spasms in my right hand (I’m right handed). But after finding out that Scotsman has mild Parkison which is what I have with spinal damage, I decide to go for it. My goal was to turn something into a tool not just firewood which is what Ryan P told me is what alot of people do during their first turn. So with some pride that I did it and it didn’t break plus I still have all my fingers. Heck I didn’t even get a scatch. So I am posting a photo.
Ok Ryan you can go ahead and laugh which is ok because I laughted at your first turns too…....:-}

Don’t tell all the plants that, they might do something…..........But really it is a seed planter or that was my first thought…...... :-}

I like it. I usually use a pencil, but this will do the trick. Thanks for sharing.

perfect for planting small bulbs! You have the bottom marked at different depths?

Yep. I like it, would find it handy for planting seeds, and big enough for hands that are getting rhumy and clumsy. Just too pretty to use in the mud. :-)

Nice looking seed planter there Rog … and I agree with Iris, nice size for hands that are getting more fuzzy with opening and closing around small seeds. It is a wonderful thing to see something in your head and then create it. Great job! :-)

They were traditionally called “dibbles” in England.
I have several for different tasks around the garden.
