    Default Christmas present for Politictian.

    Suppository of wisdom. Osage Orange and Solomon's Ebony. Chased threads. Finished with Rustin's danish oil. Appropriate things can be put inside, and hopefully even he won't be able to forget about it.

    Ya like the guy who went back to the chemist and said " For all the good it did me I might as well have stuck it up my ####."
    We better watch it or it will go the same way as your pencil sharpener.

    What's the go with making one side smooth?
    Also, no idea of dimensions. Hopefully you made it oversize.

    I really like it, perhaps better with frills for entire length, but just my taste.

    Ah yes.

    As for which polititian, which has been deleated from the title, is a quote from the man himself, so just google Liberals squirm as Abbott refers to 'the suppository of wisdom'.

    Yep. Sure does.

    This piece was made for an exhibition that was commenting on politics, the media and censorship. A little bizarre that someone complained about it. Or maybe fitting. Controversy on the WWF.

    Goodonya TeaLady. Political Art - we need more of it if the wood turning community is going to get noticed by mainstream media. But I guess this will end up in the draw alongside his other gaffes.
