George,

I was only joking but it certainly is effective.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

I like this one more than the last one, George.
Now tell me, when might we expect to see you tramping the Serengeti in a leopard skin?

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Whilst the design etc seems to be the same as your first one the faded colouring gives it a totally different look and appeal. OK so it's a bleached zebra but it works for me. Lovely piece. Wonder what it would look like if the spear tip was cast in pewter?

This could be the start of your new "shield" series George, a pierced one next perhaps?

You will have to wait and see John I need to get Yandles behind me before I can think about anything but I will be doing more.

The fronts are interesting and pleasing.

This one is every bit as good George. Looking forward to seeing where this leads, although hoping not to the Leopard skin.
