Bit of a time waster but really it depends on what you use it for, I show some of my stuff on it so my family and friends can see what I am up to and also to talk to my cousins that are overseas, depends what you want out of life i suppose

Tux i brush my oil on as the oil is dear in NZ and this the most economical for me to oil things.
I had 40 book marks to oil and just made 2 piles and stacked them on top of each other and this morning I checked to see if there was any stickies then put them away, no problem

Here is a pot pourri bowl I made from a piece of spruce given to me and decided to cut a lid from rimu and I think the contrasting colors are OK what do you think

They look great we must have the same book but like the frogs did not sell, gave them and the frogs to the sallies to give to the needy kids in our area for Christmas, I also did the zebras and elephants and they went to the sallies as well
