That's most unusual and I think a much better gift than something bought. It looks like a lot of care and attention went into it.

Part of the sons collection. Probably 2000 or more. Missus wants them gone for the new kitchen I have to make her for the new year.

Hey Joe, do you want to put a bid in for them :lol:

Don't tempt me as I "rightsized" my collection a few years ago and I've moved over to having films electronically on a NAS and stream them to the TV or phone (via Plex)

Finally got to finish the oiling and polishing, after numerous applications of both,
Quite a large piece about20" high and based around a 12" diameter trunk. 22 coats of danish oil and 25 coats of beeswax polish.
