Was cleaning up the garden this afternoon and came across an interesting log. Looked at it and said to SHMBO this will have some interesting colour and wandered off.

an hour or so later, I came out of the shed with this.

I think she has forgiven me, it is already in use to hold toothpicks..... Got no idea what the wood is, but it had some nice spalting and there was a lot of CA used in the turning process. Was finished with teak oil and shellawax.

It was fun and made a change from pens

So, how did the log find it's way into the garden? It can't have been there last time you cleaned up or it would have been turned before now!

What ever, you've done the poor thing proud, and your good lady seem to be impressed.

It was probably something we cut down last time and was left to dry out, then forgotten about
