    End grain boxes,continuous grain between box and lid?

    Hi McAldo I cant remember exactly the finish i used. I checked back on the photo and see it was dated Aug 2010, so that would have been around 18 months after i started having a go at twizzeling, and there's no way i would have been into any 'fancy' finishes at that time. I'm sure all it...

    Weather Stations.....

    Andy.... i looked at the Davis one's, they're very nice, and i'm sure very accurate too, but to be honest all i wanted was a 'fairly' accurate one that i/we could gaze at as we walked past it.... the same as we do the barometer, just a bit more 'high-tech', seeing as we're now living in the...
