| | 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.
