This package arrived today. A ginormouse trophy with an olive on top. It looked a lot smaller in the photo. The thing is a foot tall. 6 inch long olive. Bigger than my spoons. I've never got a trophy before. Where will I put it?:hmm

yep, good old radiata.
Its actually pallet timber, I bought a pack of boards a few years ago
despite the caning it gets here its quite a reasonable timber IF you cut the defects out.

Well, it is well known that the best things come in small packages, as my mum used to tell me when I was depressed about my small stature...
My photo is hopeless, but has anybody noticed what an amazing sculpture Underfoot's platypus is? He sent it to me three months ago at the beginning of the challenge and I enjoyed having it on MY mantelpiece during this time... I can't but wonder how the voting would have been affected if he had sculpted something similar for the challenge instead of that very skillful, but honestly unappealing, bird's skull. Alas, poor kevin...

nope the pine isn't from a pellet, its from a pack of timber that was intended to be made into pallets.

The platypus trophy pics
Finally here are a couple of pics of the gorgeous platypus tropy that Underfoot made. Who made the stand for it? It is beautifully made as well, and the platypus looks quite cosy in there, having its snooze.Donna

That's all Underfoot's work, Donna. I have been only the postie! Amazing, isn't it? I still say, even if he is too modest to admit it, that as animal sculptures go John is on a par with Silvio Apponyi. BTW, Silvio sells small bronzes like that for around $250, check his website.
