I have been practicing the art of going in circles. The edge of this particular rose design is usually defined by a carved line – but I haven’t yet decided whether I will follow tradition: I quite like the look of an ‘open’ decoration. At any rate, I thought to try my hand on a spare piece of Huon Pine. The first cut is vertical; thereafter I angle the blade one way, then the other, to create a v-shaped groove. Not so easy; one false move and the game is over.
