New selling venue
I have been busy selling online in my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/arkwoodsigns and have now opened up a new shop on Zibbet http://www.zibbet.com/ArkWoodSigns . I must say that the admin and owners of Zibbet are excellent, very professional and they listen to the concerns and suggestions of their customers. The owners even take the time to personally answer any queries which gives me a good feeling about this venue, it does not yet have the same amount of traffic as Etsy but hopefully it will gather speed in the coming months. Zibbet has a real feel good community spirit, give it a chance and you may fall in love.

Kanji Picture Frame
A picture frame for my mother-in-law, it's carved with my daughters name in Kanji (my wife is Japanese) with her birthdate and weight. The frame is handmade.
Carved Celtic Knot
A celtic cross pattern deep carved into pine, I really like the effect of this, will coat in polyurethane and polish up :)

Bedroom Plaques
Here are a couple of plaques I made Friday. Both are fairly simple. They are both for childrens bedroom doors. I repainted the skull and crossbones as originally it looked to polished, and I wanted it to look a bit rougher, so I tried to make sure that brush strokes showed and paint coverage was not perfect.

Twig Frame and interesting leaf
Twig and plant fibre frame.
The framed leaf had a trail eaten in it that looked similar to Japanese kanji for the word Ka which means to transform or change.
Cat Bird Table
One of the only things I have built from someone else's plans, it was a request though so i had to do it.
Apparently the cat does not scare real birds away, but in my mind it could give them a false sense of security.
