Finally broken after 30 years

[Lons]

This was carved as a gift for a relative in 1982 and has survived countless episode of wax and cloth over the years until recently when it had a little accident and the poor thing had it's legs amputated.

I've stuck it back temporarily to help me fashion a new leg - when I eventually get a roundtuit.

Very nicely carved, well done.

Does anyone know the RSPCA's phone number? THIS is a lesser spotted birdus-o-carvus and needs protecting
it's a great bit of carving Bob. Do show us the repair

That is superb Bob, a shame that its got broken but you could make a wooden leg until you get around to fixing it

This is a nice carving Bob, pity about the damage. It is definitely worth the effort of a good repair. It has a nice sheen to it.

Oh dear, Bob - a one-legged wren. Can't you give it a matchstick to use as a temporary crutch?

Bob.
