Handcrafted Priests made from WA Timbers
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
Due to the strong winds we've had lately in WA, I haven't had as much time to snorkel, dive, crayfish, fish, etc and therefore have had an abundance of time to handcraft these priests. Priests are used to administer the last rights to a fish before clubbing it senseless in a humane and gentle fashion.
The Priests are made from the following WA timbers (Top to bottom):
Tuart, Sheoak and Jarrah
WA fish deserve to be clubbed into unconsciousness with only the finest WA timbers. In fact, they insist upon it. None of those cheap, Chinese imported timbers or Eastern Australian weeds for our fine fish!

Those Donga's.
Hi Willy,
Way back in 1992 I was given a sheet, heading was " Pyjama Python Pounder ".
These were not my words, & I sold quite a few. Still have the Sheet somewhere.
Mine weren't as heavy as yours but almost everybody got a giggle from them
They were bought for Couples who attained 25 Years of Marriage, & was tied with a pink ribbon & presented to the Lady.Regards,
issatree.
Have Lathe, Wood Travel.

Looking good mate
Yeh those poor little soft fish deserve those pussy timbers, you could have at least used some decent hard Jam. Now in Qld, the fish are harder bigger better , so require those harder QLD timbers like Gidgee, Western Rosewood, Hairy Oak, Bull Oak, Rose Sheoak, Cooktown Ironwood ...........etc etc etc. I guess there are just too many to choose fromNeil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Pfffffffffffffffttttttttttttttt, never heard of those timbers (except Jam), clearly they are inferior to the likes of Jarrah, Sheoak etc. The WA Dhufish would laugh at those Eastern Weeds. You should have said Dead Finish, then you would have had my respect.
Cheers
