Very nice work!

I'm a tad curious as to how you procured the slate bits? Did you smash some slate tiles, or is the stuff simply available where you live?
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

 They look very nice and well done too.

 Have you made them for a game in mind?

Thanks guys! The slate was from a roof tile that had fallen off my work place, I just smashed it into pieces and used the fragments I wanted. The barrows will be used in whatever games I need them for, I just have a thing for them!

Very nice, got that same thing about barrows (and stone circles as it happens).

Quick question : What are you using as bases? Is that mdf? Cannot find cheap source anywhere!
