Excellent work as usual. How did you get on working with laburnum? I've always avoided it, due to the toxins. I presume turning it produces the same effects as burning it.

Another wonderful work of art, Leszek. The fishtail spine is beyond words.

Judging by the amount of projects you have shown lately, you have been keeping very busy and it is nice to see your creative mind is still in top gear.

Desirable? Even my wife was drooling over it. The fish design on the rear - wow.

It's alright.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
