Kepy. I know, I know. He-oak has a little Woodpecker (Bird). LMAO. I am so funny.  :o

Nice work Jimbo. I think it is like riding a bike. You don't forget, just takes a little pratice.

I think Sheoak was a name given by the Australians when it was grown there, it is also know as laceoak as some parts of the tree has a lace like patter through it, I had some of the tree when it was given to me but it is all gone

Very nice, Jimbo.  Will they be jewelry holders or what?

My answer to that question Beck is when you buy it you can put what ever you like in them,
They are big enough to put small items in but are really only decorative box's I sell them from $15 to $25
