Ta. I can see that working along the grain. But end grain?

Interesting. No I don't scrape. I've seen references to it but never tried or really looked into the technique. What's it all about?

I just looked it up. Bloody hell, he's a proper narcotics gourmand isn't he? That'll be one thing that him and Trump won't see eye to eye on for starters. "Some executives and board members fear the billionaire’s use of drugs—including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms and ketamine—could harm his companies."

I must have missed that bit of blasphemous dirt on Musk. What's his drug or drugs of choice then? Coke?

The one that that lump, and lots more besides, came from had no spikes. It was much too far gone, there weren't even any branches left on it. It's lovely wood from an aesthetic point of view, pretty colour and figure, bit of a bugger to work and finish though as it's hard and tough. Luckily it makes good firewood also.

I've not seen as much spalting in that before.

I fear you may be asking too soon. (If it was only felled a month ago.) Sorry Mark!

Me neither, but I guessed Green Laning as it referenced holding gates open?

Gisèle Pelicot rape trial: Ex-husband Dominique jailed for 20 years WWW.BBC.CO.UK The convictions bring to an end France's largest ever rape trial, which has shocked the country and world. Brave woman. Possibly more shocking was that so many "normal" blokes were complicit. A horrific case, from all perspectives.
