Allen Scythe Project


Managed to snaffle myself a bargain on eBay - an Oxford Allen Scythe for the princely sum of £102 - an absolute bargain. They usually sell for a couple of hundred or more.


It will be used to tackle the long grass next autumn, resulting from us leaving patches of the lawn to go to seed in an effort to encourage biodiversity. Manually scything it this year was a task I don't care to repeat next year.

I want to give it a new lease of life and will attempt to make it look like this beautiful number.


However, I don't think I'll use purple. Triumph Strontium Yellow, perhaps?
