Buck ..... I love using random pieces of wood out of the yard or stuff I get from work...
Unfortunately not being a botanist, I'll never learn the names of 99% of the deceased wood I have in my lumber racks or the living in my (and neighbour's... he has some nice looking stuff... shhh) yard.
Buck I would post a pic but I know you think there are too many bowls on this earth!
The Aussie cricket team has a few injuries, so we can always use a few extra bowlers.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
