Agriv8 Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Now then game keeper I hope you health and recovery continue but I will say this . Turning up on a shoot with one of your fine sticks may eclipse the turning up with red cartridges. I might have a commission for you to price up for my dad please can you U2u an email address or telephone number ? not sure how many beating ( ok more flanking these days ) season my old man has but he needs to be propped up on one of your sticks! thanks Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Have you got any more photographs of the book ?. I intend making one for my mom , and putting it in my woodland. I promised her that I'll make her a rustic oak bench , and that's where her ashes will be scattered . The book will be a nice addition, and she would have loved it.

Hi Mel I will have to have a look through my old laptop to see if I have it wasn't hard to make the book as long as you use the old rule measure twice and cut once...I used a 9" angle grinder with a velcro backed sanding disc attachment ...just take your time..a router was used to make the outside cover and the leaves and there is also pot made from a copper tube in the spine so a single flower can placed.. cheers David..
