What's the commonest type of Owl?

[NazNomad]

... a Teat Owl. :-D

The side of an old drawer, think it's oak. 10''x 6''.

... and I knew straight away that the previous owner was a smoker, it stunk. :-(

Ha ha! I got an old set of drawers a little while back form a house clearance and they smelled of scent when I cut them up. I'm guessing a little old lady that kept scented soaps in her drawers must have owned them.

Bit more pleasant than smoke

Nice bit of work scrollwork though. Well done.

Is it a wall hanging or will it be part of something else?

Perhaps he's making a drawer that lets the smoke in and out

Either way, it looks good - far better than my first attempt at making something with only internal cuts, but more of that later when I put together a post showing the failure and explaining lessons learned. Hopefully, my failures will help others avoid the same errors.

Honestly, I have no idea, I did the pattern ages ago and needed to spend some time in the garage.

Is that an Innocent Joke.

Could have been worse, my mate suggested that a Sanitaryt Owl was the most common.

Ikea towels used to be called Sanni, we got in to trouble when the red and white one's were on special offer, the display sign about them was 2 white with a red one in the middle and in massive letters "Sanni towel, for that fresh feeling" apparently management didn't see the funny side. glad I don't work there any more.

Reason I asked.

That's what I was getting at, I said Teat Owl though. :-D

Really like that, Naz. I need to nick it for my pal, he's bird mad.

Finally got around to it. Birch ply as all the 'real' wood I've got is cupped.

Very Nice Martin and it looks like a Barn Owl (just in the process of making another Intarsia one......they are beautiful and we have a pair down in our woodland which looks like a tornadoes hit it today)

wood...trees down....where's my chainsaw!!!
