Hand carved, often sweary, lettering on stone. Brace yourself.

This appears to be moving at roughly the time frame of the Roman empire. It should be complete by 2033. In my defence I am emptying the workshop as a prelude to downsizing, which is taking For Ever. Don't wait up.

Any sale from the shop before the end of the month, I'll throw in this large letter I. That's eye not ell. Obvs. One only. Stone about 20 x 10 x 3 cms.

This photo has it all: silver, hand carved #lettering on stone, candlelight, furniture by Andrew Varah, a bottle of Burgundy AND two cats.

As you know I don't do commissions. Because I don't care what you want. However, without mentioning the C word, you might need some curses before the C word comes along. Possibly even the C word. If you need some swears which are not currently in the shop, ring my bell.

Just keep it there will you. Ashbourne has a biting, thin wind but as yet no precipitation. OK, so it can be picturesque, but stone the crows...
