Seconded. Bit of oil maybe. Mark do you know how they produce Tiger Prawns? Check it out in the morning, not now....

 

They don't battery farm them do they, like they do with lambs and stuff?

 

Looks great Ian. I like natural timber but I think some paint would look good..

That wooden Lego man is super kool, painted or not! If you ever put them up for sale put me down for one!

 

Re the tiger prawns, I'm not sure what the insinuation is but I used to work on a trawler in Australia and we dragged them up out of the open ocean with big old fashioned nets - they were snap-frozen within an hour of being caught and sent straight to the fish market. These prawns were subsequently sold world wide. I have heard of big sewage-filled prawn farms elsewhere in the world, but am not sure if those make it to our shores?

Hi Ian you could get some coloured wood stain they do it in bright colours that will show the grain nicely why not try one , I think a big one say 3/4 ft tall would be cool

You can be sure they do, brother. Gotta be careful when you're shopping for prawns. Anything 'caught in the indian/south pacific/north atlantic ocean' will be fine, but if it don't say that on the packet it has been raised in a sewage pond in viatnam....

 

But then again, what the hell.....

Hi Ian,

 

Looks great, what about using clear wood oils to finish him?

Cheers for the ideas, might just have to make a few now to try out the different options.
