... but it seems to have been re-purposed en-route to the desk top...

sweet!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Unfortunately the piece of wood is obviously unique; if it's not, then I've certainly not got any more pieces quite like it. It's Yew and it's from the trunk just before it's split into three. I split the bark off it and ran it over the surface planer to get the flat bottom. Fair to say, I won't be using for holding my floats when roving.

I was wondering how to make one ... but it's got me stumped !!! :Confused:
