Time had come to replace the most important seat in the house, after firstly discussing it with the Boss we decided on a truly Australian theme .
The inlay is Grasstree , plastic and copper , the seat is Sheoak.

Spider on the bottom?
Australian folk law Rob , when we had out door "dunnies" ( toilets ) which we had when I was young, there was always a risk of the Redback spider ( related to your Black Widow) making its home under the seat and it was always wise to check before you settled down to the job in hand, more than a few people wished they had . They have even made a song about it.Quote:

Sheoak is quite appropriate, Red Back spiders (the ones that bite that is) are all female...

I lived there for 4.5 years and twice... TWICE... I saw the largest snake I've ever seen outside a zoo (that's not an exaggeration. literally both were the largest at the time) in my own damn toilet.
I would've welcomed a Redback at that stage.
Oh, and the toilet seat is awesome. A true heirloom :)
Looks great mate :cool:. I take it the spider is inlaid in lieu of just painted?
There's no need to skite, mate. :wink:Quote:

My parents have green tree frogs living in their outdoor toilet - another very common inhabitant of outdoor toilets here in Queensland, and also possibly the reason the carpet snake was there - to hunt the frogs.
Dusteater - I would wince every time I went to the toilet - might lead to constipation!
However, the work looks great!
And not to mention our the female treats the male.
Very nice seat to.
