That is WAY cool! I love unusual wood. It ain’t a blemish, it’s “Character.”

Better than the potato that looks like Nixon for sure!

I found this log in my firewood pile:

And after a little while in the workshop I found this inside it:

It’s 95mm wide, 300mm long and 8mm thick…Now it just needs a project.

Here is my contribution, not any where near as impressive as those above but never the less

My son and I were cutting timber to make him a potting table

The material was lots of recycled pieces

As we were cleaning up sadly we found somebodys cat which had been hiding in the timber.

We gave it a prod with the marking pen but it didnt move

Regards Rob
