Driftwood
Since I mentioned in my last post that Danny had picked up some driftwood from the beach I thought I'd take a couple of pictures to show what they are like.
Hopefully they will dry out nicely and not be full of rot in the middle!!!
They do look quite nice with a nice grain running through them.
Do you see the black lines in the top of the first one? That means it is spalted.
Spalting is caused by fungus in the wood and you have to be careful and use a mask when working on it as it can cause lung irritation- quite scary eh!!
Are you impressed with my growing knowledge of woodwork and it's terms - I know I am!!! :))
In other news today - I have had the most awful toothache today. I think I have a wee hole in one of my back teeth.
That can only mean one thing - a visit to the dreaded dentist.
Oh no!!!!
But needs must - I cannot stand this toothache :(
Anyway that's enough moaning from me I think!!!
Has anybody got anything exciting happening this week. I don't but we will wait and see what the new week brings with it.
Have a great week everyone!!! :))

So sorry about your tooth, Ellie. Good luck getting into the dentist.
I hope that the tooth has stopped aching. Yours.
Hope you're feeling better soon, toothache is a horrible thing.
blessings,
Diana
Good luck at the dentist!
You certainly have to know about wood fungus which can be dangerous and take the necessary precautions.
lovely trunks!
looking forward to seeing what makes with it.
big hugs~
