Oh, bugger! a spalted flame beech Lucida...

[bluntchisel]

Hi, Guys,

OK, some time ago, His Benevolence, Lord Woody, send me a stick of spalted flame beech and a stick of cross-cut padauk. These woods were new to me and both had interesting features, so therefore worthy of becoming Sedonas. Or so I thought! The padauk blew up during turning, and stuff me if half the beech didn't go the same ....ing way! Out of store came the sackcloth and ashes, along with the self-flagellating whip, and I gave myself a thorough lashing, and finished up with some free-fall drops from several footbridges traversing the M20 Motorway. Unfortunately I survived all this punishment, which allowed me to return to some form of sanity. After snatching up the remaining scrap of flame beech I found it to be just long enough to fit a Lucida. And that's all, she effing wrote!!!

Bob.
