    Default Two prizes in one day

    1. Must be my lucky day as I won second prize
    in our Forum raffle.

    2. I went searching for a piece of burl today and
    found an absolute beauty. However, I did not
    remove it from the tree as I felt guilty.

    In recognition of my interest in conservation
    I was awarded the 'NO BURL PIECE" prize
    for 2012.

    Ok, I will really be lucky if someone laughs
    at that one.

    Can't read it properly ... the writing is too close to the paper.

    Well I thought it was worth more than
    6 out of 10, after all, it was completely original.

    Thank you for your varied responses
    - now back to the "think tank".

    It's quite a good joke really.

    As a bonus, it's timber related!
