    Default Resistance was futile.

    Welcome back viewer.

    I was at a tip shop today and saw some timber that they had there.
    All 140x20 cove in lengths of 1.5M to 4M, there is about 50M.

    It had been used but only has a few 50mm gun nails in it, and is painted with NC laquare

    How much I enquired?
    $65 said he.

    Ok Ill take it.........

    I didnt have the heart to tell him it is all French Oak.

    I have a mate making superb picture frames out of that sort of stuff. He is using oil reproductions of van goghs and stuff - they look a million dollars.

    Who was awfully quiet
    And then one day
    He faded away
    Because he overused White
