WTF  :eek   https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=167&v=TBb9O-aW4zI

It seems I have a couple of million dollars worth stashed down the back yard, and I just need some clever marketing.   At $1200 for a single bit of wood or $500 for a small bundle of kindling, either I'm in the wrong business, or his customers have too much money to spend, or I just don't get it.

Very amusing . . . Taking a shot at the plethora of cooking shows on Teev . . .

My Step-Father used to make bowls like that and he just gave them away
I know it is all in the timber used, the better the wood the better the outcome  :thumbsup

Hmmmm... maybe I could just shred some firewood, and sell it off as 'craftsman made' toothpicks?
