Wood working skills needed....

[Sarkmeister]

Evening all

Slightly strange request.....

I have a lump of wood that was used as a cake stand for my wedding. It's a section of cherry tree trunk about 30cm diameter an 20cm long (it was actually from a tree in a PHer's garden, see thread in about 2014). I'd like to turn it into something for a present for my wife, something like jewellery box.

The problem is that I have zero wood working skills, or tools. How would I find someone who can do this?

I'm a bit confused as to whether this is a job for a joiner/carpenter/wood worker. I'm willing to pay for this obviously.

I'm based in Nottingham if that helps.

Cheers in advance

Cheers for the replies so far. I was thinking of a square box, but might give the wood turners a try, cheers.

I contacted a wood carver but he want interested. I appreciate this is a tiny job so not surprised

Cheers. Looks like I need to find myself a cabinet maker.

The wood has been sat outside for a few years, and does look to have split a bit. I have a closer look later and take some pics so I can send them to whoever I contact.
