Default Nothing much...but fun anyway

G'day All,
Like a lot of others on here, I hate to discard wood offcuts if it's possible to find a use for them. With that in mind, I found an offcut of Jelutong on my bench and cut away the surface to find this little feller in there, he's an inch and a half long and 3/8 of an inch wide......fun to do, and kept me out of trouble for a while.
John

Looks pretty good there my good mate! I also have some tiny pieces of basswood that I'm thinking about making into some little woodspirit necklaces... it's so hard to throw away the scraps. Thank's for posting!
